I think you're seeing a die break above the date. I have seen worse damage in problem-free holders but agree with you that it is a details coin mainly for the rim damage.
Grade wise I can't go above Good-04. I can see the eye appeal in this coin.

I agree, G04. It may be worth submitting to a TPG, because like BH said, these early coins often can slide by in problem-free holders. It'd help a lot for resale value or just to keep in your collection. |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

It looks like it could make G-6.

It might be the angle of the photo, but I don't like the look of that piece. I won't say counterfeit, but I will say questionable authenticity. The Ms. Liberty just doesn't look right. Her nose is sticking out too far.
Does the piece have a lettered edge? If it doesn't, the piece is not good.

The marks above the date are from a die clash impression from the clouds on the reverse. Authenticity looks good to me, but if billjones questions it, take a second look.

Can't argue. Would fool me, though that's probably not saying much.  |

This is an 1806; it's an 1807; but the Ms. Liberty was from the same or a similar matrix. Does she look to the same to you?   I also don't care for the fact that the date appears to have less wear, i.e. look stronger than the rest of the coin. |

Well then. Back and forth, cannot argue your points. Scary.

Above the date looks like a clash from the clouds on the reverse. Looks like a genuine VG-8 to me.

The edge is lettered. If I have time tonight I will try to take some different photos. I will also weigh it. I think the date appears to be higher relief due to lighting. Thanks for everyones input.

Weight looks good. I think it's genuine.

I would think it an authentic G6 but I do not have the experience most of our members have.

I'm with you Debrjac. I definitely have a lot to learn. This forum sure is helping though!
