Wogdog2 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 09/10/2016 6:43 pm Just arrived in mail. I am not really sure what it would grade. Has decent luster but some chatter on face and had what seemed to be tape at 8 o'clock on obverse. Tried some acetone to remove, got some of it off. Is as far as I am going to try. Also some small dings under the left wing on reverse. Edited by Wogdog2 09/10/2016 7:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/11/2016 12:43 am It's real; a weak strike, combined with clashed dies and a late die stage at that; MS 64 technical grade. Date position is very far & slanted; look at VAM 13, 18, 23, 38 to see for a match.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/11/2016 4:35 pm Hard to grade from your photos but if I had to guess, AU50-53 and appears unoriginal. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
