Hi guys,

I am curious about what the grade of this coin is. Can anyone give me some feedback?

thank you so much! this has been in my family's possession for a very long time. the black grainy areas are due to dirt on the camera's lense and the warm color is due to the lighting.

It looks like XF-45 to AU-50 to me (best I can tell from the pics) It looks like there is quite a bit of wear on the hair and on the eagles feathers. It looks original to me. Nice coin.
Rest in Peace

At least high AU, I don't see substantial wear on the high points (primarily the eagle's wing) and it seems like you might want to take better photos. Just a suggestion...it will make the coin easier to grade.

With the new scans, I think it has a shot at MS-61/62. The luster seems pretty full on the devices.

these scratches worry me. will they detract from an MS grade?
