Recently picked this guy up in my shop and started pondering his grade. The scans I have are okay but they definately don't show the mint luster this guy has. So anyhow what do you guys think?   |

Full headband/hairline delineation. Pearls fully formed. Maybe a bit of wear on the feather tips. I'd say AU 53, depending on luster higher?

I think it could be an AU55 with some possible strike weakness. Very nice coin!

AU-55 was my first thought. Cleaned or just bad lighting?

That's the worst part of a scanner, it doesn't show the luster on the coin. I don't like grading with scanner pics, but I'll say MS-60 nice Indian.  |

I would say AU-55. Nice overall, looks to be some wear on both ribbons and some scattered marks and discoloration on back.

The image makes me guess lower than it might be.

When I first saw it, AU55 popped into my head ;-)

Why does the obverse appear doubled?

biggfredd,
The doubling is one of the undesirable characteristics that my scanner also produces but mostly when scanning silver coins only. I am unsure about the best method for eliminating this doubling effect on copper coins for other non-Epson scanners.
I have, however, been reasonably successful 75% of the time eliminating the doubling when scanning silver coins on my own Epson product. Since the upper interior lid of my scanner lid/cover is pure white I have simply placed a dark grey vinyl substrate on top of my coin before closing the scanner's lid on top of it.
This procedure may also possibly work for other non-silver coins on other printer brands but my Epson WorkForce 610 printer/scanner will usually scan copper coins without having to deploy this method.

Great looking coin, the lowest curl seems to have a trace of wear, or it could be a reflection from your scanner. The strike is also incomplete, but these copper-nickel cents were difficult to strike up fully, which is why they lasted 7 years only. Conservatively, AU-58 could be MS61/62 on a good day! |

To much wear OBVERSE: feather tips, hair above ear, hair behind ear, and on the band with diamonds (the area over the hair). REVERSE: Is that a fingerprint on the shield?
tops of leaves in wreath, ribbon over arrows.
My guess and thats what it is a guess Au-53 55
