Notice that Die 2 obverse and reverse have better striking detail than Die 1. Notice that Die 2 has no die lines along/above the nose. No line off the back of Lincoln's jacket moving up towards the "R" in Liberty like the 1909 Matte Proof Die 1 and the 1909 VDB Matte Proof have. Die 2 has its own "set of obverse die line… -
1836 2 1/2 gold. How do you guys grade it. UPDATED
I have always liked these coins, but almost everyone I see, this one included, seem overgraded or worked on to me.

I recently had a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to get my hands on three desired Austrian Leopold "The Hogmouth" 2 Taler varieties, in high grades.
