I just bought this one today to add to the collection, looks like its in really good condition to me but I have no idea how to grade these, but I think I got a good deal, any help from experts on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Your pictures are extremely blurry. Better pics please.

to the CCF!

(By the way, anyone confused by the first image, it's just that the image appears to be a mirror image. It's not a rare pattern. )

Maybe these 2 pics are a little better, I think it's just the camera on my phone but not sure. Sorry about that

Still better pictures would be nice, but your second set is much better. I see some wear on the hairlines over the ear, with some blending of the strands. On the reverse, the chest feathers are worn smooth, it appears, but that may be lighting. Do offset your light to a side and diffuse the light, such as with a piece of a milk jug or a thin cloth suspended between the light and the coin.

I'm going to say, right now, from the photos, it's an AU 58. Some may say MS 60, but we do need better photos.

You're getting better, though!

The images appear a little out of focus. Follow paxbrit's advice for taking better images.
