My seated coin buddy @Barberian nailed it right away. What do you think?

    It depends on what kind of mood the graders were in on that day. It could be an AU58 or MS62. I don't see any rub on the obverse, but there are a few feathers on the eagle's wing that could make it AU.

    One hell of a strike! I would say AU58 based on what looks like very slight wear on the eagles feather tips.

    I'd give her a 55. Nice one!

    58.

    Great coin... not a series I am comfortable with as far as guessing grade but I would suspect 58 would be close.

    Nice looking example. Looks like it should be AU55 at our hosts.

    A distinctive, rare die marriage as well. The WB8, with its large, repunched CC mintmark placed close to the fletching, is rated an R6.

    A rare die marriage this well struck with mark-free fields, is a real trophy coin for a die marriage collector. I like that coin the more I look at it.

    Some very accurate guesses! Well done. Thank you for your comments.

    You will note that the obverse has a slightly different toning color than the reverse, perhaps indicative of an old cleaning? Nonetheless, the coin does has nice eye appeal and I'm happy to own it.

    A lot more luster apparent in video….now I see it as a 58.
