Grade
NGC AU53 (About Uncirculated)
• Light, even circulation wear on the highest points (cheek, moustache, hair above ear).
• Strong shield detail with clear lions and a harp.
• Good remaining lustre in protected areas.
• Honest light toning consistent with age.
• No distracting marks or cleaning evident from the photos.
For 1913, AU53 is a solid upper-grade example — noticeably sharper than the typical VF–EF seen on the market.
