Posted a picture of this in the main coin forum section and was asked if I would put it here for grading. So here are the pictures, what's the consensus? I wish the reverse was as nice as the obverse, but it's at least honest wear.

Though heavily worn this coin was likely weak detail wise off the dies. That doesn't matter much at this point and an AG03 grade is in order here. An argument for Good-04 could easily be made too. It does appear relatively unmolested all things considered.

I've been playing with that too, so far it's a pointed 9, 4 lines, 13 arrows. I'm sort of leaning towards B-29 BB119.

It's kind of worn, but after looking long and hard I think it's BB-116 B-30. Maybe I'll just send it off for grading and have them attribute it.

Variety: BB-116, B-30, R-4 if the star touches the eagle's beak, BB-113, B-27, R-2 if it doesn't. I really had to guess on the star near/far from beak one.

Nice original coin. This would be awesome if it had a little more eagle
