Almost Uncirculated, certified PCGS Details for the inevitable old cleaning.  Technical surface details of AU-53 to 55, showing lightly Prooflike surfaces due to the dies having being repolished.  The cleaning was light and is a bit more obvious simply due to the surfaces being slightly reflective, however obvious luster remains in protected areas.  There is a low "bulge" in the field right behind Liberty's right hand, just visible in my images, which may be the cause for the die polishing.  Not likely to be a die clash but possible due to other damage due to material entering the coining chamber.  The result of the polishing removed some detail, most noticeable as weakness on the shield/Eagle's neck on the Reverse. There are also some very light planchet lines (roller marks) across Liberty's body, likely due to a reduction in striking pressure to extend the life of an already damaged die.  I see what may be some light evidence of rust on the Obverse die, which suggests a die that had been put aside was reworked to finish out the year's production.  Several images of the coin taken prior to certification are included as they show the surfaces better than the PCGS pix. This still retains a considerable amount of eye appeal and is certainly still suitable as a high grade Type example, and far better than the typical scrubbed out "flat white", screwed up "AU" coins I see offered by many "dealers".
