Here's one for grading opinions. I think it's an O-101 R-2. Take a look and see what you all think. I'll post my opinion of the grade after you all have posted yours.

It is an O-101. One diagnostic is on the reverse, in the scroll the top crossbar of E is filled in as is a portion of P. I like the obverse fields. The reverse looks great as well except for the scrape between eagles head and wing. I like how the letters are pull all the way to the rim. Nice cracks on S2, M1, and E3.

I'd say Front- F-15 borderline VF-20, Reverse- VF-20, looks like enough feather details for a VF imo.

VF details cleaned-tooled. I like it.

I see it as F15 with possible past cleaning. I'll be finding out because I'm going to submit this one to ICG. I'm still submitting test pieces so that I can get an idea of their grading standards. So far, I've been pleased with them.

HABIB, where do you see tooling? I didn't see that.

Hi, Susan. Busties have not been in my collecting acumen so I am very poorly versed on these. However, I would like to learn more and start collecting them. That said, I'm sure 0101 etc, is die and variation attribution and I would like to understand it. Could you give a brief description and any reference material yo might refer me to.?
Thx Jim
