What is that above of america? That's a obverse lamination. And there's a reverse die clash from the feather tips as well. Quote:

The obverse, if that pic is true in hand, lacks original luster..yours is flat and micro-grainy. Those are my main concerns.

I disagree with dipped. It has luster, not shine. Plus that micro-grainy texture is just from a VLDS.

The luster is there, I'm concerned with the ever so slight pink hue. I've seen others this colored that have been graded and slabbed no problem. I just don't know really. Quote:

The luster shows better on the reverse. That was my first concern, the obverse looked a bit blah.

The die clash is cool...

My personal experience with IHC's and with RD and RB coins is that pink hue, in hand, is a sign the coin has been altered in some way. Since I don't have the coin in hand, you'd know better. But like Ed, I'm seeing more luster and an almost more natural look on the reverse. Having said that, if this is the exact look of the coin in hand, I can almost bet any TPG will problem label it. swcoin.ecrater.com

My first thought when I saw your photo of obverse was it looks like it was sand blasted with corn starch.  But the reverse has the original color and luster to make it a decent coin. MS-62  |

This is my delima, because I actually really like this coin. If I could say 100% that it was not altered, then I picked it up for a steal. If it's been altered, then I overpaid market value... but it still has some nice eye appeal and features. Quote:

The die clash is cool... My favorite part about this IHC and why I'm struggling to keep it or not. |

I think it would make AU. I am seeing a lot of wear on the tips of the feathers.
