This is a nice upgrade considering my other FE cent is a VF. How does it look?   |

Wow! Strike is phenomenal...especially the reverse! Is this a scan? Not very schooled in this series...but.. I will say....MS62.

That is a beautiful FE. It could be an MS but I think I do see a touch of wear on the eagle's breast. AU-58

This is one of the toughest grading tasks I've ever seen on the Forum. I have to call it AU58.

I'm also in @ AU-58 due to the slight breast wear showing, but I believe could go MS-60 on a good day  With all the lower grade FE seen, it sure is refreshing to see one that grades that high! Congrats  |

I think I'm seeing rub on both the breast and the tail of the eagle, AU58.

What finally swayed me was the apparent roundness of the breast feathers, even though they hint at a possible weak strike. If strike, I expected them to show a little more flatness. That and the two top right leaves on the reverse, known to be sometimes weak on this issue but here well-enough struck to show the veins while there's apparent rub on the periphery.

I would call this MS-63, and a very nice example.
