The coin looks to have very minimal wearing, but I don't know how to grade it considering it gets so technical with the higher-quality pieces. Any help?

Can you get better photos? What ISO are you using? If you have it cranked up to 800 or more adjust it down to around 200 or less. __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.

I see the line that goes around the obverse of the coin, and I think that you may be right. The obverse seems to have some wear and the reverse seems to be mostly clean. These coins are almost impossible to grade from pics in the higher grades as with gold the flatness of the strike and slight wear can be hard to distinguish at times, even in-hand. __________________ Begin somewhere.

Edges look a little off. But that might just be the photo. I also can't really see any wear on it.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Tags eagle, indian coin, indian head, quarter, quarter eagle Would you like to support CoinTalk?
