The fields below the eagle and the area to the left of Liberty appear to show hairlines. I would grade this AU details, cleaned.
And this is why you should *never* trust a PCGS "truview" picture. They are glamour shots - extremely optimistic, overly saturated, juiced...
Cool find! While it might not be a major rarity, it is still unusual.
That is pretty cool.
Full Talons makes just as much sense as FH, FS, FT, or FBL. Have you ever actually attempted to collect Full Talon SBAs? They are harder to find...
The toning appears attractive, and OMMs are usually desirable. If there is no interest in it at the price you are asking, perhaps your price is...

Well, the conditions would have to be just right for that to happen - but theoretically, yes. If all of the coins in the roll were from the same...
I'm not really sure how old you think this coin is, but it was minted in 1288AH (not AD!). That is about 1871AD. The coin was clearly saved early...
Well, aside from Insider's claim of this being a modern counterfeit, nobody came close to the grade on this piece. (I've never seen or heard of...
