Has a strike through on the reverse on the eagles foot.

Not a fan of the image and difficult to venture a guess. It is so overexposed, I imagine to show the color?
I see wear, maybe, possibly, especially in the obv fields. Say AU55?
Difficult to tell from the pic.
Does look rubbed on the wing so some level of AU.
If it straight grades, probably 61-62. I think it has uncirculated details, with weakness of strike, rather than wear on the eagle.
I can't say anything against the pics because I've saved and reused worse images for coins I've bought, and, when I've been the photographer, MUCH worse.

No grade for questionable color. The photo is from PCGS. It was in an old ANACS slab graded AU58.
Why the crackout? Did you think it was MS?
AU58
Your skills are very impressive Asheland! I can usually nail the grade after it's posted also, but not always!

62-64. So meet in the middle at 63.
This.
That's a tough pic to grade from.
Update. Just saw the results were posted. Sorry it detailed.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

I saw an old ANACS photo cert $5 bust gold with full luster graded XF and a small planchet flaw....that later went PCGS MS62. Another time I bought an 1866 25c graded ANACS AU55 (old holder). That coin was 62-63 all day long with full luster. They thought the weak strike was wear. Sold that coin to Heritage for MS62 money. Can't always go by the original ANACS grades.
I wanted it in a PCGS holder with a trueview. It now resides as a nice bust half dime in my Dansco 7070 type set.
I would have done crossover, ANY. At worst, it is still in a sellable (old Anacs) slab if that matters at all.
