Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 02/21/2012 11:27 pm Yeah, I think he had it at home. Brought it to me in his pocket. Still has mint luster on it, but she's been banged up a bit. For sure. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 02/22/2012 04:05 am I think it would grade out MS61/62 range though a bit of rub I see on the reverse might throw it into an AU53 holder, either way it's a nice eagle.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 02/22/2012 5:50 pm I could see this either grading AU-58 or MS-61. I would lean towards AU-58. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
