Solid detail, a few small carbon spots, some minor field marks, light friction on the cheek and a slight loss of luster in the right obverse field. Not quite MS in my opinion, but a very nice AU-58. Lovely!

It is an absolutely beautiful coin! Great surfaces, though I'm with Jaobler on this one. High end AU as the devices don't appear lustrous.

I would have to grade this MS-MINE!!!



That is a beautiful coin, much better than the one I have in my album. I would have to agree with mid to high AU.

There is signs of circulation on the reverse but that is a sweet coin none the less.

Where did you pick it up at?

I picked her up at one of the semi annual shows that we have here in Boston.

Check the ear for doubling on the inside. It appears there might be some on the left inside.

No obvious wear on the high points. MS60 or 61.

That coin is a wee ripper! I want one!
