AE (Almost Exists). Got to load a pic man.

 

AU55 from these pics.

 

Ahh, there the pics are. Bad pictures, but I would say AU53-55 based on those. Smooth shoulder, not super great details in zig zag part of the head piece. Looks like it is in a self slab holder, so I guess 62-63 in there.

 

A lot of scratches are on on the slab. Here are better photos

 

He's back?

 

Rim damage at 3 o'clock obv? AU-details?

 

Given the wear on the bonnet, I'd say MS-61, maybe 62.

 

Appears to be the holder insert, not damage

 

Given the wear on. The eagle, I would say AU

 

Right. I should have had a closer look.
Is it in a slab or in an album?

 

I'm ignoring the scratches as they look like they are on the holder. The Eagle does show some wear. I also noticed what appears to be a ding on the rim at 3:00. I may be on the high end but it could be an AU-58. The luster looks good but that could be the light. Photos are so deceiving.

 

I did not mention any scratches, just wear. And read a few posts above yours, that looks like where the insert is over the coin, not a ding. The smooth shoulder prevents MS grade.

 

Wow, usually self slabbed coins are way over graded! This one seems pretty accurate, maybe even a little low.

 

That's Doug, slabbing his own coins ;-)

 

AU 50-52 tops

 

I would pay extra money if PCGS or NGC graded it AU52.
