    at first glance 55 sounds right. If you get picky about on eye appeal 53 won't be a surprise.

    Not my series but I think I see lustre - so 58 or 62?

    Beautiful coin, I like it a lot... My conservative guess would be a 63.

    Question, I see a circle/dimple/belly button on some of the eagles in different series. It always appears to be in the center of the coin, I have always assumed it to be a die alignment. Is there a better term or explanation for the circle and why it appears on some coins and not others?

    I remember reading that it was used by die sinkers to indicate the center before scratching guide lines for design element positioning into the surface of the die with a specialized compass tool.
