Really can't tell from the pictures, but a high AU at least, probably MS though. MS what, I don't know.

I think it's AU because I see some rub on the right side on the feathers. I always liked the $10 Indian design. Congrads on the coin!

It does look mint state, but I can't tell whether the scratchy marks are on the plastic or on the coin. If they're on the coin I'd presume they are hairline scratches from cleaning.

Can you remove the coin from the 2X2 and take new pictures? You should also carefully tilt the coin under a good light and check for hairlines. These can be very hard to see in a photo. If this coin hasn't been cleaned, it might make an MS-63 grade. Retail price for this coin in that grade is well over $2K.

Not by much, no offense intended of course. Try for something BIG.

Try cropping out the irrelevant (the 2x2 cardboard holder and the clear mylar part), then keep the pic at least 400x400 pixels and you should have a decent photo.

Looks like a nice coin but possibly cleaned.

My software does not allow me to crop to a circle - It would be nice. I have a copy of 'gimp'. I should try that, but I hate to read the manual - BRAIN FULL!!
I will post another set tonight - Think I'll work on exposure
THANX for the advice

Whitman,
Please remove the coin from the holder for the new photos. It is very difficult to make any decent evaluation through the reflective plastic film.

I agree with Numis. 62 Details. (and hope for you without a note like cleaned, tooled, etc, following it)
