Seeing RedRaider's recent post on this variety, I thought I would re-shoot mine with my new camera setup. Using a low-angled light, I was able to capture details I haven't seen before: all the feather tips are doubled as well some shafts, even Longacre's initial is doubled (arrows). It's all visible on the MS62 if I look closely; this coin grades ~VF35.

Full resolution picture, shot at 1:1 with my Nikon 60mm micro--click to see in crazy-size!

Really nice picture. I can see all the markers bright as day. That is one choice VF35. Good chance of going higher than that.

Thanks--it shows the detail you can get with a 36mpx dSLR.
You're right--I probably undergraded; I can (barely) see all the diamonds.
Although there are some scratches in the field that would net VF.
