Hello,
I have attached two scans of the same coin trying to also provide you with the degree of rotation of the reverse with respect to the obverse.
I would like to have some opinions regarding the following statements:
1) Does this coin appear to be authentic?
2) If not, what features support this conclusion?
3) What grade does this coin have?
4) Does the reverse side's features have the correct location in comparison to a photo of a known example of a same coin? If not, do slight variations exist considering the fact of the existence of a rotated die.
5) It appears that some of the stars have some lines while others do not. Is this normal?
6) How much does the roughened area of the top 1/4 of the obverse side lower the overall grade by?
7) If permitted, please provide an estimate of what this coin should be worth financially factoring in the die rotation.
8) If permitted, please provide an estimate of what this coin should be worth financially without factoring in the die rotation.
Please note that the shadow under the nose area on the obverse is actually just a result of the scanner that I used to scan this coin. The coin itself does not appear to have this shadow effect.
Thank you,
