OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 06/14/2012 7:05 pm What an amazing upgrade. I'm going to say AU-58, only because I think I see some wear on the eagle's head and wings. I see none on the obverse though. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16680 Posts	Posted 06/14/2012 7:15 pm I suspect under a loupe, slight friction would be evident on the extreme high points of wings tips, hair. That's a nice coin Moe! AU58 too. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 06/14/2012 7:28 pm Looks like an AU 55 with an amazing New Orleans strike (held down by obverse in this case, reverse is great). Or it could be MS61-62 with a more average O strike. Given the reverse though, I would lean towards high AU. Edited by nod2003 06/14/2012 7:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7201 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 02:43 am She looks AU 55 to me. Your set must be something to behold in one sitting! Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 1:48 pm I think the first one would get Fine details, cleaned. The nicer one has a little less wear on the Liberty's right knee and breast but I think there may not be as much luster as the one I have. I think it might grade around AU-55. Just for comparison, below is my example in a PCGS AU-55 holder. Edited by D0ubl3Eagle 06/15/2012 1:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
