MS-63 details (dipped and/or wiped) -- regardless.. Can't tell if that's a scratch or die crack on the obverse @ 11:00. That's an amazingly solid strike.

I don't see any wear on the tops of the wings, the arm, hand, knees, or head.

This would look AWESOME in a type coin set.

I couldn't tell if it is a scratch or die strike either. It is a beautiful coin the pictures don't do it justice. I think it would look great in a TYPE SET too. Thanks for your reply.

I took some more photos of this coin.
Perhaps you all can see it better.
