Smat45 I know it's in my hand and not yours which makes it harder for viewing. But I vote woody those hair lines are moving the same way front to back. But I do appreciate your opinions because I know I still have a long way to go with coins in general. Thanks for your response.

I'd say VF-20, agree it looks like a woody. I would use whichever photo looks more accurate to the coin in hand.

Grains appear on devices too - I vote woody. 609, can you post a close up of the date?
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

The pictures are MARKEDLY different. The first pics are not showing the true color from what I can tell. I prefer the second set which seem to better represent the coin. You goal is always to attempt to show the coin as it is in hand.

The cheek & jaw appear to be merged. F-15
