XF40. Obverse limited. A nice, circulated piece.

I'd say XF-45 with nice, honest wear.

AU details (damaged) or AU50 depending on how they saw the gash at K8. its pretty deep but they are pretty lenient on gold especially on rare birds.

Solid XF-45 shot AU-50! Obverse damage will not prohibit a straight grade for this type and grade level.
Is this a Fairmont coin? The early date Fairmont coins have a very pleasant green hue, and you coin shows that exact originality!

A mark like that appears to be a contact mark from that setting, in which PCGS would likely grade with less scrutiny. If it was clearly a scratch from an unnatural situation, then it would likely detail. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Not pedigreed as a Fairmont coin but I agree it does have a similar look. Several posters agreed with PCGS. The obverse hit apparently didn't bother PCGS. I wonder if it is a reeding mark from hard contact with another coin?  |
