Very nice coin!

I could very well be off on the grade here, but I'm seeing a bit more wear on the feathers, ribbon, and hair and on the wreath and bow. I'm tentatively in the EF-40 range here. This coin has great eye appeal. I love the woody. Nice original coin.

Cherrypick? I think I see something grinning at me on top of and on the lower serif of the mint mark.

I think that may be a hit and some dirt grinning at you. I do see what you see in that reverse photo, though.

It was still a Cherry-Pick, mint-mark cherry-pick. This coin was listed on an auction as a Philly. There were five watchers, but only one other bidder noticed the S. My sniper shot was bigger than his.

I wanted to add these flip photos.

I do like the eye appeal of the coin.

Nice! The CAC view looks great, with a nice woodgrain.

Thanks! I can't wait to see this one in-hand.

I think CAC does a fine job with the CAC view photos.
