panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 17468 Posts	Posted 03/28/2025 08:32 am these earlybirds always give me a headache. there may be some very slight circulation but these eyes can't see if its strike or wear when its that light. weaker strikes are so common and being able to discern strike and wear takes years of knowledge and looking at these. add to that, that most have been cleaned at some point in its life to throw a monkey wrench into the entire grading process. I've only been grading them for a decade and miss more than I hit the grade. i like the coin overall, it has nice eye appeal. it may have had an old old cleaning but I think the coin would grade straight. some strike issues, more so on reverse. I'm at AU58 or lower MS like MS62 due to lack of luster. I'm going to go with MS62. one note that I see regarding any wear is the high relief leaf at K8 which is not showing any signs of wear at all leading me to believe everything is strike related. if wear is going to happen I think it would show right there. one area that could be an issue though is a possible scratch across the shield down the leg. not sure how a TPG will interpret that due to the coins age and condition. imo because the scratch is overtoned I'm betting they ignore it.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5256 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 1:45 pm Agree with O-105. I'd say AU-55, although the reverse scratch might detail it. Report this Post to the Staff
adam126402 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 5:11 pm Funky surface toning, looks 53ish based on these pics. Lean towards straight grade regardless of scratch on the shield. Will be interesting to see pics once you have it in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 10906 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:49 pm This one came in. Not sure that that is a scratch on the shield. Lines look raised to me under the loupe in the shield and on the feathers. Also a bunch of raised annulets on the shield.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 10906 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:07 pm Looked at a bunch of 1811 O-105s and I don't see this shield with annulets and what look like superimposed tailfeathers on the leg feathers and shield.
