I didn’t see the post. Looks nice from what I can see though it’s hard to make out the surfaces. Can you zoom in on the mint mark?

Photos suggest AU condition (a real AU not the TPG versions)

Thank-you about the grade . AU would still make me happy . Just starting to learn
more about Trade Dollars .. Their are a lot of hi points on the Trade Dollar for easy wear .

Yeah, I agree with AU. And it is often better to get an AU because if they go UNC, something that might have gotten a pass in AU will trigger a Details verdict.
