There are some rubs on the on the Obverse side. In front of the face,on the face,and behind the hair noticeably. On the reverse side you have that black spot underneath the "S" in States. The mirror fields have some chatter going on as well. If the interior fields on both the obverse and reverse were as well defined and free of marks as the outside of the fields near the edges of the coin then this coin would be a easy MS65 grade. Because of all those little rubs,marks,etc it would knock it down a couple of points. Report this Post to the Staff

Willem2904 New Member Norway 44 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 10:02 am OK thanks :) Which of these coins is the nicest? I am considering sending 1 of them to PCGS/NGC to get them graded, but am unsure which one has the best chance to get the highest grade... :) Edited by Willem2904 05/24/2015 10:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 8:50 pm Coin B seems better to me. It looks like it has more details on the eagle's feathers and a few parts on the person's hair. Report this Post to the Staff
