    This coin is super lusterous in hand. Don't let my lack luster reverse picture fool you. I couldn't capture both luster and detail in the same picture. The mark on the obverse is a planchet flaw. What do you guys think this coin would grade???

    Looks a bit polished to me, but I am only a newb at grading coins, so dont take my opinion at face value.

    Forgive me for being critical, but which mark on the obverse are you talking about as I see a few (one on the eagle's neck, one above the tail, and three above the wings)?

    Above the wing and through the neck is the planchet flaw

    I doubt it will get a clean grade, as the surfaces do not look original.

    The FE is one of my favorite coins, this on would be net graded. Looks like it was cleaned with a commercial copper cleaner
