Weak strike, but I think there's also a bit of friction on the wing tips and on the lower curl. AU58 that might make MS63 at a TPG. Edited by supgog

These Cu are a challenge. The metal is so hard making strikes often weak. High Au at least. No help I am sure....

At least an AU55 if not better, could go UNC potentially MS62 the hits on the nose, chin, under chin and tip of bust would probably keep it down under a MS63 though. The reverse sure looks original and uncleaned.

Agree that this is a tough call. I could see it go anywhere from AU-55 to a weak strike 63.
Are the top feathers a bad strike? Could be.
The split in the hair above the ear is still there but the diamonds are faint. Reverse looks AU, no sharpness on arrows or ribbon...
Final verdict AU-58...

Very nice AU 50 to AU 58 coin! Reverse is nicer than the obverse.

The rim shows the coin may have seen circulation but wear?, I like MS

I'm going to go with MS-62. I don't really see any wear but I think the hits and the luster will keep it in the lower end of the MS grades.

i couldnt pull the trigger on this one...it went down for $90. if it's MS its not a bad price. if its AU someone didnt get too good of a deal.
