please tell me someone agrees with AU50 on this one...

Nice original surface...perhaps a cleaning 100 + years ago Me thinks yes

No real heavy wear, strong strike on the stars...weak strike on the relief of the obverse? reverse shows great detail in the feathers and I don't see the typical wear on the lower (eagles) right leg that generally separates XF from AU details on the reverse relief

is that a die crack coming of the eagles nose into the "L" in the motto?

anyhoo...I hope its an AU
what you you sell this over your respective counters for?

dsfreeworld I don't see an AU coin here. I'm thinking EF-40 and not sure if it has been cleaned or is just the lighting on your photo that makes it look bright.

there is some luster there but the light helps bring it out, its a decent surface in person...its the surfaces that take the grade away or do you think there are questions on the devices?

Lots of wear on the face and eagle's feathers.

I think the coin could grade EF-45. From wear standpoint, the coin looks more like a VF-35/EF-40 but I think the luster could bring it up a bit.

Very nice with some underlying luster but have to agree, not an AU coin.
Very solid XF40 coin.

Also looks like it might have a die clash right off the eagle's beak.
