    Looks nicely struck. I'm no expert but there seems to be a bit of wear on the eagle's feathers under the neck. I voted AU 58.

    A tough coin to grade in hand, even tougher by a picture. The poll is just about meaningless.

    BTW I voted MS60image

    58 to 62 is the likely grade range. These are real tough though, esp. just by a photo.

    While the coin looks rubbed (as all MS63 and lower pieces usually do), it seems to have pretty much full field luster....so I voted for MS61.

    I'm in with the AU crowd. There appears to be rub on the Indian's cheek and maybe a hint of wear on the eagle's feathers. Also, what is going on with the spotting in the obverse? I would say AU58, but I net graded to AU55 in your poll for the spot.

    My WAG (can't grade these things worth a darn) is 58.

    I don't think it is rubbed from wear so much as abraided from bag handling. I voted MS62. It is a bit scratchy, but it has more luster than a 61.

    But, if I send it in, it'll be lucky if it's even Genuine.

    I guessed MS63 w/o looking at the results...I was very tempted at an AU though...

    AU58. There is obvious wear on the cheek visible in the pic.

    I think that's just a flaw on the plastic of the slab.

    I guessed 61 (not 53... there wasn't a choice for 53, hence the humour image)... I thought it was a 62, but I net graded it due to the head shot (looks like a small caliber so I only took a point away)!

    The cheek bone clearly shows wear but I've seen similar coins in PCGS MS61/62 slabs.
