    Since I am pretty old, I am mainly an old type collector. Here is one I think is pretty nifty. Care to give it a grade ?

    I think Angelo hit the ANA grade right on , though the tpgs might go 35 .

    Your right I am always going to lower side of grade. It's a habit of buy at the store.
    Sometimes lower still in ball Park

    I'd say obv 30, rev 35. No matter the technical grade it's s super nice seated half!

    True, especially the fields north of the eagle's head show signs of cleaning. Still a nice coin :)

    the reverse photo makes it look almost concaved

    I think most of us are agreeing on a solid VF. I would say VF-25, and I agree that it has been cleaned at some point, most likely a long time ago. Where did you pick this beauty up?

    Agree on the VF - full liberty, some wear on the ribbon; still some detail in the hair. On the reverse, feathers are still separated and there's claw detail
