AU50 strike is a bit weak IMO.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the feedback. I will post results sometime tomorrow, but until then keep the guesses coming!
Picked this lady up today at a local show for the type set. We're very happy to have her in the 7070.

Here she is: ANACS AU50  We felt the coin was a beautiful example for the assigned grade... if not a bit higher. At the price ($58), it was a no brainer and the coin now resides in the 7070 Dansco. Thank you all for your input!

I'll say AU-50 also. Even if the lack of detail in the hair is due to a weak strike, I think that keeps it from a 53 in my opinion. If it is due to wear, it wouldn't shock me to see it in a 45 holder.

Hey Nickelsearcher, you ever build a coin cabinet? I just looked at your woodworking link, very nice stuff.

It's a pretty coin; I thought slightly higher, but was not quite right.
