Actually a fairly nice example. Surfaces are a little too shinny for typical. Almost no wear, marks or dings. MS60

Looks like there are a few dust particles electrostatically attracted to the coin or it's holder, that makes it harder to grade.
Tiniest amount of wear on the high points,
AU50. May go higher.

Thank you everyone for your comments and grades, I have a similar thoughts to many of you on this piece, AU-something.

ICCS gave this EF-40.

I can only see the slightest wear on the hair and maybe a bit on the big braid above and left of the ear. In hand, there is a bit more detail and has a great tone. I am quite tempted to pop this out of the ICCS flip and get some better pictures. Thoughts on that? If ICCS had a 45 as double eagle suggested that is what it would yield.

Comparing it to a few of the PCGS/NGC this would be a toss up, I think. Either way, I am very happy with the coin, now to decide if it should go into PCGS or NGC, but save that decision for another day and question.


PCGS AU-53
