You guys would be surprised. Perhaps the luster isn't showing well in the pics.

It's not the luster that worries me, it's the scratches and the rub.

The only reason I say AU-58 is because the highpoints are the only areas that look disrupted, not much but just enough to say it circulated, I dunno though.

The only think I'm sure about is that the reverse is MS. Weak strike MS. The obverse has questionable areas and the only way to make an accurate assessment is with an inhand inspection. Speculating from these pictures is like throwing darts at a board blindfolded.

 with MikeF on the reverse and the questionable areas on the obverse. As to a specific number I would need to see it in hand. It looks like a weak strike on the obverse and that is why it looks as if it is worn. I also do not know what is going on in the field to the right and on the rock below the drapery near the foot. The reverse wing looks like iroon and not a scratch. |

I can see where people are going 58. I think it is 64 tops though.

This ones actually graded as a 64. I will have to carefully look at the obverse when it arrives. Perhaps a little over graded? I think its pretty enough to stick in the collection though. I will decide if its worth keeping when I Have it in hand.

I think it's a great coin. If you don't want it, I sure will take it!!

This coin is the poster child for the difficulty in grading from images. Apparently, with the coin raw and in hand, PCGS saw disturbances in the toning, not rub on the coin. Nice piece!  |
