Nice coin! Though I am no expert, there also appears to be some sort of doubling going on, on the reverse especially. Will be watching this one to see what the pros have to say.

In the old days we referred to that as the top of the 8's.

Nice looking AU-53 coin.

Nice example of the pincer 8, or the variety O-108.

Thanks for your grading opinions, 40 to 53.
The coin's on a local online estate auction closing in a couple hours. It's odd he only has a couple loose coins for auction. The coin is currently at $264, not a bad price if not counterfeit.
Some of the fake coins for sale on Etsy can easily fool a novice without checking the coin in person.

I'd say XF-40, but there are signs of cleaning in the fields, and I'm not sure it would straight grade.
