This one will probably be heading to PCGS this week. Just curious of opinions on its grade and/or type?
Please also note the ding on the wing when grading.
Thanks

I would say XF40 details perhaps cleaned photos are a bit inconclusive.

A reverse like the first obverse image - the others add no value to the process - would be of real help in attempting a grade. It's not possible to evaluate whether the ding on the wing is damage, strikethrough or something else, but I fear that might get a coin of this grade into a Details slab if it's actually damage. Based on obverse alone, I'm at no worse than high AU for it.

There are only three varieties for the year, one of which is "normal strike," and none add any value. One involves slightly doubled short rays in the tiara, and the other a slightly doubled R in LIBERTY.

Thanks for the help everyone.
I will try to get better shots of it on Monday, sorry these were so weak as they were taken hastily. .
But again thank you all.
Dave, thanks for the variety info and the constructive criticism on the pictures.

The first shot is beautiful. Not "professional," but eminently gradable and I'm comfortable expressing opinions about the coin from it. So the question is, was it "accidental" in the sense that you'd have difficulty duplicating it? If that be the case, we have a Photography Forum where we'd be happy to help you make it the rule rather than the exception.

It's not hard to intuit why people would think angled shots might offer different information, and they do, but the cases where such information is actually relevant are few. Mostly about getting a different perspective on how damage might be less important (or more important) that we think. In the other 90% of cases, they're just extra work on your part and extraneous to the task at hand - helping determine the quality of your coin. Angled images distort spatial relationships and deceive more than clarify.

And keep in mind, I'm normally typing this stuff as much for the non-posting readers who are learning about posting technique, as for yourself.

You know, you've almost got me thinking that feature on the reverse is a detached lamination. Something that large should show metal physically moved somewhere, not just disappeared, you know? Even a hit strong enough to completely shear metal should show a little ridge in the direction the shear happened, and I don't see that here. All the same, there's too little contrast in the images to be sure. If they had the contrast of your first image, it might be clearer.
