Alright, so I've already figured out what I think it grades out at. now I'd like to see how close I am to the experts. What are your thoughts?

EF45 was where I was at with this coin as well. I'm still a little iffey on the details portion though... I understand where it comes into play on a damaged or cleaned coin, but when applied to an original coin is it just to say that the coin is well struck?

EF-40 details (cleaned). Looks to be an average strike for this issue.

The talons are so flat that I'm convinced most of the "wear" shown here is strike-related. AU, but looks to have been brushed on the obverse.

By no means am I an expert but I'd have to say EF-45 details also. Possibly an AU-50, but IMHO definitely cleaned

I think the coin has AU details but may be cleaned since the luster looks a bit washed out.
