Typically one of the worst struck coins in the series, this is not bad compared to most I see.  Compares closely to a number of PCGS & NGC certified coins in the AU-50+ grade I compared it to.  Very old, very light cleaning like most specimens, including about 3/4 of certified coins by the way.  Still retains considerable luster and has decent color, and not too far from what I have seen certify.  However given PCGS's current "snottiness" I was loath to submit it, only to run the risk of waiting a month and a half only to get it back in a Details holder.  The price is discounted accordingly and based upon what I am pretty sure I can sell it to a dealer for, plus my ebay fees.  Guaranteed genuine, backed by our firm’s 80+ years in the business, plus all the industry “garden salad” (PCGS, CAC, NGC, ANACS, ANA, etc., etc.).  If you choose to submit the coin for certification, I will guarantee it comes back Genuine; you can contact me regarding my extended return privilege for certification.  Please note that due to value, this will require Registered Mail shipping, which is slower delivery time, please take this into account prior to considering a purchase.
