Does anyone know what this would grade? -Dan





Thanks! -Dan

It's an AU-something but I am concerned about what appear to be patches of parallel scratches on and around the eagle's head and also what looks like a smoothed area beneath the talons.

That is actually toning on the reverse. -Dan

AU. Hard to grade because the photo, while large, is not sharp.

Wear pattern.... AU50-53
General appearance.... Hard to tell if the large pic takes away from the coin or not, but I'll take the unpopular view of a *Net* coin for some kind of damage whether it be environmental or cleaning. Liberty is scuffy and washed out looking with almost a corrosion effect.

Here is another pic of the reverse. I can't seem to get a real clear pic of the coin with my setup. -Dan

AU-50, perhaps.

Maybe if you don't go for such details you can get better representative pics. Here's a '44 I picked up this weekend that is in an ANACS 53 holder if it will help with some kind of comparison on wear. I personally think this coin is 53-55, but I guess PCGS will make that determination.... if they don't bodybag it for cleaning.

I'll go AU.
Looking at the coin in hand with a glass, are the lines in the toning just above DOL raised?

I liked the the coin better after reducing the size of the pic a bit.

AU 50 details, bodybag is my guess....Mike
