big777bill Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 8:23 pm It's hard to tell from the obverse image but overall I would have to say it's an XF coin. The value is about $75 to $100. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 10:25 pm XF is pretty generous IMO, I'd say about F-15? maybe a little lower. Report this Post to the Staff
Waredu Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 10:41 pm It's hard to see any detail on the obverse, but it appears really smooth on the wing edge and tail. The leaves are starting to blend together on the reverse, but can still be told apart. On a good day I would go with F12, maybe F15. If the obverse is really that worn (and it's not just the lighting in the photo) I would drop it to VG8. Report this Post to the Staff
Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 11:23 pm Thanks for all of the comments. IMO, it looks much better in person (or in hand as the case may be). Admittedly, these aren't the best photos. I was in the VF categopry with the detail on the eagle's wings,tail feathers, eye, head, etc. The back is pretty much due to a slightly weak strike.

rkp Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 08/27/2010 6:38 pm I would agree with a high grade fine F-12+ to F-15. Nice coin. One of the best designs in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 08/28/2010 07:34 am I think it might just squeak into the VF range. Report this Post to the Staff
big777bill Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 08/28/2010 09:37 am I probably should have kept my mouth shut on this coin. I'm terrible at grading flying eagles. Guess it's a good thing I wasn't buying!.lol Edited by big777bill 08/28/2010 09:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
