Just arrived in mail. I am not really sure what it would grade. Has decent luster but some chatter on face and had what seemed to be tape at 8 o'clock on obverse. Tried some acetone to remove, got some of it off. Is as far as I am going to try. Also some small dings under the left wing on reverse.

I don't like this one. The fields are clean but the hairlines are worn in the center.


I don't want to say it's fake but it kind of looks like it.

It's real; a weak strike, combined with clashed dies and a late die stage at that; MS 64 technical grade. Date position is very far & slanted; look at VAM 13, 18, 23, 38 to see for a match.

Tough to get an accurate grade from these photos.

Pics are not sharp enough or close enough for me.

Hard to grade from your photos but if I had to guess, AU50-53 and appears unoriginal.
