Suspicious as to why this one isn't in a slab, looks good to me. Maybe some hairlines in the fields? Thoughts appreciated

Well struck with clean obverse fields. Luster very limited to areas hugging devices. Area above date looks different in color and would examine that area closely for patched up damage. Some hits in reverse fields inside the wreath.

Looks au58 based on the limited luster.

Yes the area above the date is very questionable.

Agree that the large oval shaped area above the date looks like a problem.

I would be reluctant to purchase this coin, as the area above the date looks suspicious.
Rest in Peace

I'd gamble $80 on it. Eagle center looks MS. Photos are WAY too blurry to really know what problems might exist.

At least high AU at a minimum, but again, possible problems may not be evident from the blurry photos.

Personally, I'd wait another day. This one lacks pop and something clearly went awry above the date.

Are these your pictures?

Reason that I ask, the red background can definitely be influencing what my eyes are seeing.

Easy AU58 with the original color peaking out.
