Hello all,
I needed an example of the Classic Head half eagle for my type set and decided this one would fit the bill. It's in an ICG holder. Would anyone care to pit their grading opinion against ICG?

I am torn between AU and MS-60 on this one and again I am in no way a gold expert just trying to cross other series I do know a little about into this series. I do not see wear in the hair and other high places I would expect to see in a circulated coin just bag marks, if it is circulated it is pretty much lightly circulated and shouldn't go below AU in my opinion

As usual, CC graders are pretty accurate.
