Not being familiar with this series at all, I'd appreciate opinions on grade. Thanks!

AU-55. There is definitely some strike weakness on the coin (which is common with 1857 FE's).

Very nice coin! I am also looking to pick up one in about this grade

I would probably agree with the weak strike and grade. Definitely a lot of detail on the wings so probably in the AU55 camp as well.

Welp, this one got sniped from me at the last second. Maybe I'll put the money towards some classic gold instead.

Thanks for weighing in, everyone!
