Looks MS to me, BTW, you have some great IHCs. I would say MS63BN.

Hmm, that's quite a spread, AU50-MS63...

I would agree with MS 63 BN. I see some slight weakness in some of the feather tips and diamonds that are probably the result of a weak strike rather than wear.

I was comparing it to a photo of an AUfitty on another site and they're almost identical. Lol I'm no pro, learning as I go.

The weakness in the ribbon appears to be from a weaker strike, not wear. Although when you get coins like this, you need it in hand to really get an idea if there is wear or not.

Just downloaded one of Snow's attribution guides and am looking at IHC pics I posted. Nothing earth-shattering so far but this appears to be a Snow-17 (center dot; see the dot in front of the ear). Can't wait to start comparing these and other raw IHCs to the guide! |

I am on the fence, I think this is a weakly struck coin and may easily be mint state, could go as high as MS-63BN but no lower than AU55 IMO. Need to see this one in hand.

It's beautiful and I think AU58 is a safe grade to go with given the images.
