In this case, I feel the "wear" you see above the ear is a weak-strike artifact. It is shelf-like in appearance, something you can also see carrying downward into the ear area. A fully-struck coin having worn into that area should show corresponding wear on the reverse, which is relatively strongly-struck for New Orleans. Note the remaining detail in the neck and talons, two places where wear should appear almost immediately. MS-64 all day, in my opinon. Report this Post to the Staff
