I'd put this one at AU58. It's beautiful.

Thank you everyone for sharing your opinions with me.
There's an awful lot of wear on the top feather tip. Would that preclude a higher end AU grade? Or is that more of a strike issue than actual wear?

I'd award this on at EF-45

This is slightly off-topic, but take a close look at this coin in my collection. Compare the feather tip opposite the "R". It has the same die chip.  |

It's nice and would agree with AU55 but, I believe it's been recolored. Hey DV, great observation  swcoin.ecrater.com

DV, In addition to the die chip you pointed out, look at the area I circled. Your coin has the same striations as cperry's coin. I'd say there's no doubt these two coins were struck with the same obverse die. Pretty cool!   |

I'm going to agree with everyon that it's an AU-55. I pulled mine out and it dosn't have the die chip. Possible error variety?

I got one from the same die also. Just nowhere near the shape these two are.

Good sleuth work! Definitely from the same dies - mostly determined from the die striations, not the die chip on the feather tip (tons from this year have that, at various stages too). There could be a snow variety associated with this specific die chip, but the striations and/or the chip do not constitute an 'error'.
