CaptainG New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 6:34 pm I'm trying to figure out what grade of coin this is. The details and shine are stumping me. Also, What Overton variety? The stars generally touch the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 7:29 pm I like it as an O-115. Based on the appearence of the arrowheads and star curl relationship. Others will chime in. DDave types faster than me...lol Edited by amida17 03/04/2013 7:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 7:41 pm First: Captain to the Forum!! Second: This is an astounding coin! Great detail and amazingly strong strike. Third: I would call this Overton as O-115 (R1). Fourth: I would grade this beauty as a very nice AU-58. (possibly polished?) (You guys are TOO fast! I need more time to Overton research than you guys!!) Edited by Moe145 03/04/2013 7:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/05/2013 01:25 am There is some wear on the hair curls and feathers. The coin could grade AU-55 but the surface of the reverse has a greasy appearance which may be a sign of cleaning or overdipping. It may just be a result of the photography. Still, a nice coin!

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 03/06/2013 8:56 pm Here's a couple pictures of the one I bought last year... It came back as AU-58. Sorry about the quality of the pics, but I think it's pretty comparable to yours Edited by Dave H 03/06/2013 8:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If you get clearer pictures, you need to repost them! I, personally, would REALLY like to see this coin up close and personal! yahoo] Report this Post to the Staff
