F15, very good shot at VF20. Variety is BB-212 / B-2 (R2 rarity) for your information. T in UNITED is normal; long arrows (past center of N); first 1 in date does not touch curl; right side stars higher than left side relative to LIBERTY. Note also the two parallel diagonal die gouges from the head through the hair bun, and a die crack from the right wing tip to the rim. Decent strike (for the series) and looks like an earlier strike since the flowlining and trails have not yet noticeably developed and the dentition is mostly intact.
Very attractive coin. I wouldn't mind owning it although it's most certainly out of my league. The fingerprint could have been put there any time from 1801 to whenever it was slabbed, but based on its appearance, I'd wager it's more likely to be quite old. It does not detract from the coin in any meaningful way and does not affect the grading or eye appeal IMO.
This would be a great type coin for the Large Eagle series; the later dates are scarcer than the earlier dates, taken as a whole, not by variety.
