This coin is dove grey, not red in color. The red is due to my imaging skills.![image](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif)
I had some blind luck tonight and bought this coin locally less than an hour ago. Please give your grade opinion.

I like the color - looks very original. Ms Liberty sure is wide-eyed! Looks a little spooked, which may be appropriate around Halloween time.
Edited to say - got a better look at the reverse letters - VG tops.

I would grade your coin a VG8,no way a fine.
It looks like there is a plugged hole in it at,
OBV,lower right of E in LIBERTY,
REV,smack in the middle of the tail feathers,
Can somebode else see what i'm seeing?
What type of slab is it in?

PCGS holder? Wow. I wouldn't be surprised if it was graded VG-8, but I would have second thoughts buying it personally at that... The rev. scratch is just too distracting.

I see what looks like the hole. Obv and Rev
hi, i'm tom.
i do not doctor coins like some who post in here.
I wish that the scratch was not there, but given the grade it's a minor point.
The big plus is that the coin has not been cleaned.
ER nailed the grade! Some others did guess with the generic "good" grade were also correct.
I believe who ever submitted the coin got screwed on the grade. It looks around VG10 to me.
No plug under the "E" in Liberty just a couple of scratches.
I was thrilled to buy this coin for $780. I believe that was VG money.
Actually, PCGS loves to undergrade a lot.

Glad I was wrong about the plug.Sorry I didn't notice that it was in a PCGS slab.

Dang, I like this coin design, in whatever grade!
<< <i>Dang, I like this coin design, in whatever grade! >>
I totally agree!!
When collecting lower grade draped bust coinage, you can't let a few scratches bother you.
That's a beautiful VG10, Tommy Type and it looks higher grade than mine.
