    My thoughts are that the coin seems to have wonderful surfaces & displays an excellent level of preservation; however, the obverse feathers seem a little soft. In the interest of full disclosure, let me state that I am totally out of my depth here on coins of this calibre, but fo what it's worth, I have hunted down a few of these in lower grades for my collection, and those feathers often make the difference between a 61 and 62.

    Thanks for your input. The lower 1/2 obverse does look somewhat weak.

    I have played this gam with half eagles. When you get to 64 and above it is impossible to tell from a photo. You need to see it in person. That is a newer OGH and there is little chance of an upgrade.

    With the massive price increase I would think that if an upgrade was possible, it was be attempted or has been attempted and failed.....
