Hi,

In addition to the grade I want to ensure that this coin is authentic by receiving some feedback.

Besides the full obverse and full reverse shots a closeup photo of the date and a cross sectional view of the thickness of the rear head are attached.

The shot of the rear head is an attempt to illustrate the thickness of the head above the obverse side background field.

Please suggest a retail price on this coin also.

Thanks,
mdpmedia

Good 6. BIG rim bump on portrait side at 1 o'clock. Can not tell if that is a die crack or scratch on bust side. Possible environmental damage.

Hi,

When coins are this old my ability to detect alterations or counterfeits is very limited.

The only part of the coin that continues to bother me is the depth of the obverse field in relation to the thickness of the head above this field...

The current comments from Westwood are appreciated but I would like some additional feedback from other interested readers just for a comparison.

I have no reason to suspect the existence of a fake but something about this coin still bothers me.

Also, what type of ebay resale price could one expect to receive for this coin?

Thanks,
mdpmedia

I would not buy it on ebay because I do not do paypal. At a coin show maybe $10.
