Honestly, I think it'd make AU50 except for the eagle's right (viewer's left) wing. Might anyways. With good pics and a good seller with a well-written auction, it'll fetch $200 on ebay.
Rest in Peace

Yeah, I see the others point. It could be a higher grade with a weaker strike or picture depicting it a certain way. I'm not really good with Au vs Unc, as I've found out. From the picture, it does look like a lot of the eagle's breast is worn off though.

I decided it might be better if I posted some close ups of some of the areas in question

hehehehe. Those just confused me more, but I have never really "graded" from such nice close-ups. For some reason, the obverse looks like it has a lot of detail under that toning, and was solidifying my thoughts of mid-high AU, but the eagle threw those thoughts out. Maybe I'll just never be able to accurately grade these....The reverse makes me think high XF at best now.

Once again, I'll need the help of experts. But that's the nice thing about this place isn't it..

Oh, and thanks for the extra pics Ziggy.
