    Is the dark area in the field to the right of the eagle's head toning or surface damage?
    When in doubt, don't.

    AU50?

    Looks like it has decent luster remaining. Hits & rim chew might count against it a little. Struck well -- nice definition in the stars for the most part, and in the arrow fletchings on rev. I think it's a nice coin.

    I'd say AU-53. I wonder where those 4 "spider-bite" pair of dots came from?

    It's got great detail image

    For this date look for WB-102 Errant date in the rock and gown above 57. WB-103 Recut date

    Lee. That does look like my coin's bigger sister! Very similar look, although the fields of your coin show a bit more contrast. Along with the nice strike, it looks like there's lots of luster left on both sides too! I'll guess AU 53. Nice one!!! image

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    nice look, well struck, good details ... from the picture I'd call it an AU ...

    since it's in a white holder, I'm thinking it's graded as a 53 (or maybe even a 55)

    Appreciate everyones thoughts and commentsimage


    << <i>Is the dark area in the field to the right of the eagle's head toning or surface damage? >>

    Looks like a peace sign made with a black crayon under 10X, seriously. Not damage and I should be able to remove it fairly easily.


    << <i>I wonder where those 4 "spider-bite" pair of dots came from? >>

    Noticed that after your post. Evenly distributed also.


    << <i>For this date look for WB-102 Errant date in the rock and gown above 57. WB-103 Recut date >>

    Couldn't really tell under 10X?


    I'm working on a 1857 Mint Set w/Gold PCGS Registry Set. Gonna crack her out and send in for an "Any Grade". Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it. I haven't done too well here recently with PCGS. image

    You guy's sure do well in grading:
