Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 08/15/2010 12:01 am P.S. I agree with the comment that Choice BU usually means that the seller believes it is at least 63. Gem BU is usually reserved for 65. Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 08/16/2010 2:54 pm reguardless what they are advertised, its the coin not the BU and such that makes the grade..in this case I think its a weak strike on the hair/ear, A better photo of the rev would help tremendously, assuming the breast feathers are in great shape MS-63 due to the face marks,, Report this Post to the Staff
mslibertysbeau New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 08/16/2010 7:41 pm The color and luster are beautiful, at least if the pics are true to its actual appearance, so on that alone, I'd say it's a good buy if you like attractively toned pieces, as I do. :) Technically... I'd have to see it at better magnification, at different angles, and see others of that issue to make a call. It appears the angle obscures the breast feathers somewhat. If so, the reverse appears exceptional, though the angle might also obscure some mars that might be hidden in the darker portions of the field on the pic. Therefore, I'd go with at least MS63, possibly 64 if the reverse is as clean as it looks in the posted pic. Nice piece, overall! Report this Post to the Staff
Piffin Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 08/22/2010 1:27 pm Nice Luster and not a bad strike considering it is from no mint. Bag marks on cheek bring it down to MS 62-63 for me Price paid fair. Report this Post to the Staff
vanbroj Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 08/28/2010 9:37 pm MS61 , maybe ms62 , a lot of bagmarks on the face. Very nice luster however. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 08/28/2010 10:21 pm I'll go with MS63. Nice luster with virtually no wear, just some bag strikes. True, it does have a bit softer New Orleans strike but nice! I would pay what you paid and be happy about it! Report this Post to the Staff
