Those of you who said "Details" were right about this coin.
It came back today graded "AU - Whizzed".
While I was waiting for the coins to come back from NGC I looked at all the photos I'd taken of it and noticed what looked like some weakness in the first feather of the headdress. I started then to think that the coin wasn't mint state and something may have been done with it.
I was surprised it was whizzed since I thought that left fine marks on the coin.
A disappointment, but not a costly one, fortunately.
A lesson learned.
