Here's the sellers pictures:
I sent it in express for grading and Trueview.
Here's the Trueview:
So what do you think??
Edit with results:
My opinion of the coin in hand is that the obverse is rock solid no problem VF20 with a great look.
On the reverse the area of the eagles head/neck and left wing look slightly suspect/wiped/cleaned. F15
PCGS results: Genuine (92 - Cleaned)
Do I think it will end up slabbed - Yes. F15 on an average day and VF 20 on a good day.
I'll try again in a few months.
Thanks for all the comments and Yes, I'm tickled to death with the coin!!!

As far as details, I would say it is a Fine-15.
Great coin, by the way. Congrats on owning a very important coin.

Nice pick-up!
Nice pick up

something tells me the top pictures are what it would look like in hand
and the PCGS picture is what someone would use to maximize how much
they could get for it when selling... with the buyer being very disappointed
when it arrived.
FC brings up a valid point. Which pic is more accurate regarding the color. The sellers pic or the truview. Or somewhere in between.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Anyway, I agree that the coin is cleaned and also that PCGS will eventually slab it in a regular holder. It's a low grade CC coin, you have to allow for some problems....
Edit: Saw you posted the results. Try NGC!
<< <i>Looks F15. Nice pickup -- did you pay around melt for it? >>
It's a much better date and I doubt he paid anywhere near melt for it.
