    Realy hard to tell from the pics, and I dont collect these,but I will say; MS64image based on the amount of detail still visible on the eagles feathers

    Totally impossible to grade from these pics, IMO. Could be a 64, could be a cleaned XF.

    MS63 (Of course, I can't see any details, so it's just a stab in the dark)

    Looks like an ef45 to me but way to small. There appears to be considerable wear on the eagles feathers.

    AU-55 (would 58 but for the scratch), based on very small pics. Looks like rub on the cheek and headband. Nice coin, but a decent sized scratch above the portrait. Good color, typical strike. I see two claws, and a partial third.

    Somewhere between AU-50 to MS65, depending on what the coin looked like when you could actually see it

    Pics too small but appears to be in the AU range.

    I do it like this...

    1. Is it genuine (necklace/luster-can't tell-tooooo small)

    2. Is it circulated (can't tell-tooooo small)

    3. Is it damaged or altered (can't tell-toooo small)

    4. How's it look - it's ok

    5. What is the grade...hummmmmm (can't tell-tooooo small)

    6. How is the coin for the issue year/mint (can't tell-tooooo small)

    7. What would I spend for this coin - no idea

    I have one almost like it and if you can't see the feathers at the TOP of the wing on the reverse, then it's been circulated. If it's been circulated then it's in AU 50-58 condition.

    Can we get a larger pic? Since you have a no return policy for this coin, I am hesitant to bid with such a small pic.
