And clashing, and die cracks, and a rotated reverse.

You forgot to mention the Longacre doubling on States! Man, that die had seen some things....

I'm going to grade this one at 58, because her cheek looks dull. Some of the high points of the hair also appear dull - this one looks to have seen just the merest hint of circulation. I'd say that is a very attractive, and very cool coin.

 

62

 

AU55 and a beauty.

 

Well the Longacre doubling ...isn't yup it is not ...this coin is an FF: DDO-001
If you study the coin closely you'll notice that it isn't Longacre doubling it is a doubled die. And yes the markers are present such as the die crack on the obv. That runs across the bust and curls to the rim at 4:30 this also happens to be a better variety with an URS of 5 a R-6 coin. And she's mint state to boot...a $500 + coin any day.
And you can take that to the bank!

 

Hard to tell through the plastic but if the cheek and the band isn't rub I'd say 63.

No idea how they grade coins with this much going on but curious to learn for sure.

 

@ the wooderson school of grading-
We would get a median grade range of
MS58+
Or it could be an AU62

CHECK IT BOOK IT BET IT

 

I be willing to bet on this one! Mint State and the ddo.....

 

Nice coin. That 7 o'clock obverse denticles business is from the cud on the reverse side?

 

That's the result of the cud on the flip side.

 

You got a link to a reference page with pictures for the DDO?

 

ncg ms64

 

I deduced that and revised the post, but too slow! MS63

 

Look up the number easy to find in the CPG

 

.

 

I'm at 64 also without a doupt

 

I at a MS62*
I think that's heavy toning on the cheek.

 

Ok, this is just a fascinating coin and really my type of awesomeness!! I'd guess it's probably in an MS-63 and would easily assign it the coveted EW Bean!!

 

You mean the coveted EEW?

 

Pretty coin. I'm at AU-58.
