Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 11/26/2007 02:23 am I think I see somewhere above the ear and on the eagle's neck. So AU55-AU58? Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 11/26/2007 07:54 am I would also agree with the "AU" grade. There appears to be slight wear on the devices. Gotta love that die crack on the reverse! Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 11/26/2007 08:03 am Definitely, AU. One beautiful coin... Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 11/26/2007 09:20 am Hmphh, I'm lost. I just don't see the wear. I have looked at quite a few in MS holders, and this one seems as "clean" as those. I would just think you'd see a difference in patina per say if there was rub. Oh well, just my opinion anyway. In the end, I would go MS61. Report this Post to the Staff
hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 11/26/2007 12:48 pm I'll go au-50 on this old bustie. Very cool coin, Nelrak! Tights24, here is a couple of pics of a bust in ms. When compared to the coin Nelrak posted I think the wear becomes fairly obvious. Report this Post to the Staff
okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 11/26/2007 8:13 pm AU-55 with slight wear on the hair and the wing edges. Absolutely beautiful coin - wish it were mine! Report this Post to the Staff
