I can't grade it because I don't have a book that go's over AU-50. So from my point of view it's over Au-50 or is it AU-50?

I see liberty looks weak but in hands you see full liberty.

EF-45 would be my guess.

I agree with EF-40. Diamond detail a little weak for EF-45

Thanks for editing topic. I was going to post different coins but changed my mind.

Can you please say what diamond details means? I kind of not good with that.

Diamond detail refers the diamond pattern on the ribbon of the headdress. XF40

Alright thanks! I learn something new everyday about coins. I'll put EF-40. Not too bad of a grade.

There are 4 diamonds at the end of the ribbon above the lower hair curl. The wear on these diamonds is one characteristic used to grade circulated IHC.

I think EF40 is fair, but if it came back from a TPG at VF35, it wouldn't surprise me. I don't know if there is enough separation from the ribbon and lower hair curl to call it EF.

Can someone give a link, or picture as to where these "diamonds" are? I am quite naive with Indian heads, and I know you guys say where, but even with online pictures I don't understand where they are. I am sure that once I understand it will help me appreciate them better :)
