Sorry, I only have the pro photos which show great detail but probably not the whole picture. Thoughts on grade and eye appeal and the strike? Thx

au58 due to limited, broken luster. hair is typically weakly struck as are the talons of the eagle. eye appeal is great. nice!

Full 63, nice early die state strike. That wicked double profile combined with the clearly visible die scratch through the C in 50 C and lack of die crack through STATES is a dead giveaway for O-111, the scarcer of the two die states. (If this is a full 63 it would be a top 10 CC for the variety!)

It is indeed an o-111. I am not super familiar with the varieties and am learning what I can so any info regarding this one is appreciated. I did think this was quite nice so I have it on hold for me. I see alot more pullaway toning on morgans and other silver coins then I do on bust halves so that caught my eye, along with the double profile and sharp stars.

I'll say 63, shot 64. Sensational.

MS63. I think if it was just a little stronger strike it would make 64. love the luster everywhere

So this one in AU-55 with green CAC. so not quite the valueable MS63 that was discussed, but still a nice coin. I believe it lacks enough luster from the pics to keep it under MS so to me its graded pretty accurate but I could see it as a 58. What do you guys think now, that its not mid MS?

I'm still at AU-58. Very minor rubbing on the highest points. If you bought it for AU-55 money, you did well.
