Here's another one, what do ya guys think it grades? This was a total gamble, but only cost me $45, so I could make out well if it looks nice in-hand.   If it's worth anything, I'll get it imaged after it arrives.  Edited by chasingtailbar

The rev looks like an AU coin due to the details and luster. nlp

I'm pretty sure it's UNC. Seller claims it is. I don't see any obvious wear on the reverse, there are no luster breaks on high points of eagles chest. Luster also looks strong on the reverse.
Muted luster on the obverse could just be from toning/haze that is easily removable while keeping that streak of green-blue intact.

Looks UNC but it is hard to assign a grade because the pictures are fuzzy.

Really difficult to tell from the pictures. It looks at least an AU possibly MS. Some of the stars on the obverse seems to have a halo around them which might be a bad sign. We'll see once it arrives.

Tough call, but the reverse image is sufficiently tantalizing that I'd have taken the chance on it. You can't easily fake what it says to the educated viewer. I'm sensing what might be a rare "appropriate candidate" for a dip.

Chasing: I'd be interested to see the Picts after you get it!

Per tracking I should have it by Tuesday. I'll try my hand at a few photos, but they won't be anything like the ones I usually post. If I like the coin, I'll have it imaged the following Friday, or 6 days from today. I went a little crazy on ebay the past few days, I actually have seven coins (total cost of about $650, total value of at least $750 regardless of condition) coming to me over today and next week. Two today, the rest next week. Edited by chasingtailbar
