Still a beautiful coin. Still AU58.
Worth much more (at least to me) as a high end AU58 toner than it would be as a 62 or 63 with poor eye appeal.

Very nice! I'd say high AU.

Paralyse, that is interesting. On the pcgs site the ms63 is worth about 3 times the au58. Does that reconcile with your comment? I do not understand most of this.

What I mean is that I'd rather have a pretty AU58 than an ugly MS63.

It's a beauty and I'm still at AU-58.

AU details. Huge gash across the middle of the eagle.
Edit: read the first topic thread, those pics I liked a bit more. I agree that it is not UNC, and I personally say details but PCGS might net grade it. I'd need to judge it in hand to see whether the scratch is bad enough.

Thanks for the new pics! I'm still at AU-58+. No matter what, it's a gorgeous coin overall, and it would fetch a good price.
As a side note, it's often the case that a high-end AU coin is easier to sell than a low-end MS coin. Since O-101 is R1, an advanced collector with an unlimited budget could secure an MS-64 example with relative ease. For those of us with limited budgets, AU examples are often more appealing because they offer a very attractive look without breaking the bank. There's just a larger collector base for choice AU than low-end MS, so yours is an excellent coin to have.

Looks even better than before! It's not my series, but I sure have a hard time finding any evident wear on this coin.

I'm also having a difficult time seeing any wear on the coin. I do agree 100% with paralyse i'd rather have a nice AU58 rather than a crappy looking low MS coin any day. the challenge with this series is determining what is wear and what is strike. TPG's can't even get it right and they have the coin in hand, which we dont. the scratch through the shield could be an issue but for me its a non-issue looking at the coin in total. just a comment on MS coins. they can have broken luster and still pull an MS grade. I can't tell you how many morgans I've seen where the cheek had the luster missing and the coin graded MS63. there is only one way to tell for sure what you have and thats to send it in |

I would buy this as a 58 but and unc grade would not surprise me. I don't feel like the scratch would detail it.
