[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 4973610, member: 105571"]I make it as a nice AU-55. There is some wear at the hair, above eagle's eye and rubs on the beak and wingtip tops. A few small ticks keep it from 58. BUT, my guess this might slab as a 61 or 62 depending upon luster. The photos make it look like it's had a dip sometime in the past but I am happy to take [USER=8959]@Eduard[/USER] 's word that it is darker than shown and with remaining luster. Also, this is the 1848/48 double date. There were two obverse dies for the date. This is Obverse 1 where all the date digits are sharply doubled. It is also Reverse A, the "Compass Point" type. I have zoomed in on these areas below. My Briggs reference calls it R-5 in AU and R-7 in UNC. It also says the double date is the scarcer of the two varieties. Nice pickup, [USER=8959]@Eduard[/USER].
