First coin I've bought in a while, but the price was right (to me). Seller's pics. Opinions?

I'll say AU-53.

Fields looked good to me. Bit of a weak strike on the top feathers. Curious to see if any of you think it's been messed with. Looked like some remaining mint luster to me, but if I'm wrong please educate me. Price was in line with what I was willing to spend.

Coin arrived today. Fairly nice coin, but the seller shot to hide the scratch above the eye - just hate that. Coin looks like it has light wear otherwise. Light strike. Pretty coin in hand, but for the scratch. Does that detail it? In at around VF money.

I don't think the hit would detail it. It does look like a $100 coin which is about what you paid? Wear alone puts it at AU but the hit(s) and the obverse strike puts me at XF45.

It's just a battle scar!

Still a bit concerned about the color relative to the wear, but I think it squeaks into AU50.

The first set of pics had me at AU-55, but now I think I'm dropping down to 53.

Can't argue that. Muddy strike and it's got that "battle scar" above the eye, but the pictures don't really do it justice. Pretty in hand and I'd be pleased to get a TPG to slab it at AU53. Haven't decided whether to send it in or not.
