    AU 55 Remember that differences in strike are very common in these coins. The hair and tips of the wings are usual soft spots. There is wear on the coin, but you can also see lustre remaining. Looks like a beautiful coin to me.

    Very Nice. I'll guess XF-45. Think there is a little too much wear in the first group of hair above the forehead/temple to get AU.

    We're splitting hairs here literally on verbiage between traces of wear versus slight wear.

    Great coin!

    Nice to see you get a "real" coinimage Not a whole bunch of wear but...... luster looks like it stops around the periph. I say a nice 40 perhaps.

    Sine I know Dave well enough to know that he doesn't often handle early type in lesser grades(unless it's a classic rarity), I'll
    say AU-50.
