XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/12/2014 9:56 pm This one appears to be the best of the three half eagles I'm thinking of sending to PCGS. I think this one grades the best out of the three. Its bright and has some light scattered contact marks, but the fields seem cleaner than the others. What do you folks think she grades at?

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 08:33 am I want to say the details are MS but how is the luster? Do you suspect it's been cleaned at all? It looks dull in these pics Report this Post to the Staff

XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 9:16 pm Its definitely the scans, I'm gonna try to upload some better pictures this sunday if I get a chance. This coin has just as much luster as a 1881 S Eagle I have thats graded MS62 by NGC. Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 9:23 pm I'm definitely not seeing any wear, and providing there's a bit more luster not shown in the scans like I'd assume there is I'm at MS-60/61.. Very nice! Edited by NathanASE 05/13/2014 9:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
