    Muted luster and spots. I grade it, “pass.”

    Those pictures do that coin no favors. I'm going to guess it's a 65 or better

    What's with the double looking top feather on the obverse? also looks like a small double horn in front of the big one and some double hoofs? hard to judge in the shown holder, the "Flank" looks worn and coin has circulated a bit in my opinion I would range it "Xf-45-Au50"

    The holder is scuffed up and not clear enough to see the coin properly. IMO. Peace Roy

    This coin has been slabbed as ms65 but would you call it that with the big black spots on the obverse?
    I would have to think the two large spots near and on he bottom two feathers is an example of post slabbing
    degradation of the coin or environmental damage. Maybe one of the graders sneezed the coin.

    I would not have ever guessed that this would have graded so high, That's why I like to see coin in hand before purchase when possible, I would have passed on this one!
