Hello,
I picked this up yesterday in an estate lot of various coins and silverware. I am sending it to PCGS next week.
However in the meantime I was looking for any opinions on its authenticity, approximate grade, and variety type?
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Well, now.  Welcome to Coin Community, peaece13. You have obviously already done a lot of homework, and wouldn't be planning to submit if you didn't already have a pretty good idea. I am very much inclined to agree with your opinion, based on what I can see here. BB-241, B-6 from the missing right foot of the T in LIBERTY. The most common variety for the year. If this one's a fake, it's a very good one indeed. Can't comment on surface originality from these images but all the same nothing stands out in that regard. Details are probably XF - the hair may be iffy but the shield is strong. PCGS would probably go no more than XF40 and VF35 isn't out of the question. Quite the introduction. |

Looks legit. At least the edge isn't reeded.  |

Thanks for the replies, information, and the warm welcome.
I will be sure to update as soon as I have results returned from PCGS.
Special thanks SsuperDdave for the variety information as well.

Idle question - did you mistype a letter in your username or is the spelling deliberate? If wrong, I can fix it for you.

Wow, that is a heck of a coin. Congrats.
That is quite a special coin to pickup in a mixed lot with silverware! What did the other coins in the lot look like?

What a fascinating coin, I've fallen in love with how sharp the sheild detail is. I'm not good with U.S. but I think that coin deserves no lower than VF-35, congrats.
Feel free to call me Will.

@Olcoins It was an interesting lot, I really could only see some well circulated Washington quarters and a 1922 Peace dollar. I was really only pricing in the Sterling flatware and silver value of what I could see. However, there was a damaged 1893-p Morgan (still a nice find) and then there was an 1826 1/2 cent (pictured below.) Again thanks to all for the information and kind comments...   |
