However, I have found that the presence of visible “hairlines”, whether from a cleaning or not, almost always gets a coin dinged. I will note that many of the certified specimens I reviewed in PCGS and NGC holders have also been cleaned, rather obviously, so it is possible that it may pass. It is otherwise in the neighborhood of AU-53 to 55, which is a very scarce level for this variety. As a result I have not bothered to submit it for certification, on the assumption that it would grade Details. Like many survivors, this shows some very light hairlines which is probably from a light old cleaning, very possibly before the overdate feature was noticed. This coin shows solid AU detail with considerable luster and decent color. By that time, very few examples above EF remained to be found true BU examples are very scarce (some would say very rare). The first published numismatic reference was not made until 1960, and it was not more widely publicized until 1963. Unlike its brother from Philadelphia, not discovered for many years after release, as the overdate feature is less obvious. A decent high grade circulated example of this scarce overdate.
