  i have to admit that is pretty nice. I like the nice overall brown toning
  and the blue in some areas makes it stand out.
  
  very unique. i have no clue if at or nt.

  I wonder what kind of storage condition created that toning. Is this the typical envelope toning? What does the obverse look like?

  Probably a proof seated half. Image looks like a coin that I wouldn't like.

  I must admit that the color in that photo looks oversaturated.
  
  However, I'm suspect it's an impressive coin nonetheless....Mike

  You are correct sir...Mike
  
  Proof Seated Half @ Pinnacle
  
  p.s. I would have (incorrectly) guessed not a proof because of a relatively weak strike on the talons and scroll.

  I actually think it appears cleaned. If not, it doesn't suit my tastes.
  
  I much prefer Vida Guerra's reverse .

  MikeInFL, thanks for the link. Seeing the obverse now, I know I don't like the look of it. Images aren't the greatest, but still......

  You are welcome & agreed. I suspect that's why Chris didn't post it.

  Jee you guys are harsh! The obverse is not that bad. The reverse is just awesome (to me anyways)
