This one looks good to me, but my diagnostic sheets are at home.

What do you guys/gals think?

    A little bit of funny coloration on the obverse, but still genuine!

    Same here.

    Looks like die 1.
    I thinks AG03, but they may give it G04. Too worn in my opinion for the G04.

    I agree. If it had just a bit more rim on the reverse, I would think a G4.

    Thanks for the info everyone!

    It looks good to me. Check to see if the reverse is rotated a few degrees. This is another step towards authenticity.

    The "D" looks right. I agree with the genuine grade.
