This is now the oldest coin I own and I would greatly appreciate thoughts on a grade. Got it at an antique store at what I thought was a great price at just $15 dollars... Hopefully I did ok..   it is a rotated die (about 30 degrees). Thanks! |

FR2 to AG3
Looks like a 1st hair style variety, but it's hard to discern. I think you did pretty good for $15.

as you can see some facial features such as the eye and the break in the nose as well as fairly readable reverse, I think you have G4 details coin and an excellent buy. |

It's actually type 2 hair style, Sheldon S-166. You can see the diagnostic arc die crack running through the 1 in the fraction.

Tough one between AG3 and G4. The reverse rim screams AG but the obverse says G4....If it were mine I'd call it G. Incredible pick up for $15 and  with Philadelphian. |

For $15, any grade is acceptable.
AG-3?

Good details IMHO. Great piece of history, you did well! You should send that puppy in for grading! Edited by Night-Hawk
