Here are some pics that I found for a coin on the bay. I am leaning towards an 45 for a grade on this coin? Any thoughts on this?

this is a very pleasing coin. larger photos would help assess however they are sharp enough to see the details. barring the horn the coin looks like an AU coin. XF45 but I think it has a good shot at AU

Nice looking example!

Strike can be all over the place on this one. This one has a good strike. Slight weakness noticeable in the 1st feather, hair above the braid, bisons shoulder and head. Tough to judge, but looks MDS. Polishing most obvious in front of the profile between LIBERTY and the bust.

Wear is evident on the bisons head and hair along the back. Rim wear/flattening most obvious on the obverse around the date and LIBERTY. Wear at the usual high points in the hair on the obverse.

I can't see any higher than XF40 on this one, and lean towards choice VF.

Edit: @ 12319558, tried to send a PM, but you have it disabled.
