@Kristine Garrant, if I may, I would recommend procuring a book authored by one of CT's most knowledgeable members. It will be one of the best...
The writeup says it's certified by NGC when it is clearly raw, and I do mean raw!
I would call it a 65 or 65+ but for what appears to be graffiti between the right wing and the wreath. So, Larry, does it look like graffiti in hand?

There's no question of the truth in that statement and that is because the vast bulk of the price-setting market is in the TPG coins....
This is the C-8. I would call this coin a TPG EF-40 but an EAC VF-25 sharpness, net VF-20 due to color and hit on cheek. Solid example of the...
