    WOW, this is the best contest this year!! image


    I have no clue how to grade this design/level, but I'd WAG it as a Fine ... and a damn FINE coin indeed image

    FN15 on a bad day.

    VG10 on a good day.

    10-15, leaning more toward 15. I like this coin a whole lot.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    VG08.

    It almost looks like the hair was tooled (I know, it probably wasn't, but it just looks that way to me- I haven't seen many of those, particularly in that grade).

    I would love to have one of those. Maybe I'll dig one someday.

    I would give it a PCGS F-15 rating, but I think ANACS would only give it a F-12. image

    Congratulations, looks fantastic.

    F15 it is. This is the less common small stars version and the only example PCGS has graded VG-VF...there might be a sub-VG coin and I'm looking!

    I sure got fooled on that one. Then again, I bought one of these raw from a dealer as AU and NGC gave it a 61.
