    50? Perhaps the wear on the feathers is more pronounced due to striking? I was debating between 45 and 50...

    I've seen busts with exceptional luster but worn down like the one in the pic graded at XF-45. The best way to grade busts though is to see them in-hand.
    I'm going to guess the Overton in a later post, hopefully.
