Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 2:34 pm Hi folks! This coin was just (gently!) removed from its ANACS slab. Once again, see if you can guess what they had it graded. Thanks for looking! I'm really digging the toning that appears once these guys are released into the wild! Report this Post to the Staff

ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 3:48 pm Looks like a trace of wear on the top of the head and on the leg. I think it may be AU-58. Really, really nice! Report this Post to the Staff
Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 4:50 pm It looks more like a weak strike at the top of the obverse and tallons on the reverse. If it's wear, I would agree AU58. If a weak strike slide it in at MS61/2. Very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 5:53 pm AU58 - is there a little wear in the motto letters, or maybe just the pic? Report this Post to the Staff
muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7194 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 8:39 pm I'm going with AU 50, again another 80's date. I'm jealous! Report this Post to the Staff
greghansen Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 04:50 am I like it as a 58. No lower than a 55. Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 04:55 am Moe I'm really trying to see wear. Tell me if I'm wrong. Obverse: Hair top of head and stars next to hair (this may be weak strike). Right thigh. Reverse: Right talon (again may be weak strike). Above eagles eye. All this may be weak strike like I said. If so MS-61 or 62. If this isn't weak strike but wear AU-55. Moe let me know which. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 08:50 am I would say a weak strike and call it a 62. Report this Post to the Staff
yankee1227 Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 10:05 am AU58 Easily! Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 4:27 pm oh my gosh Moe, that is an absolute beauty! You've got a good eye for quality low mintage Seated halves. You don't see them come up every day. I have no idea what the grade is, since it all depends on the remaining luster imho, and I can't quite make it out; but high AU seems probable.
