    Well I bought a roll of these and they are all pretty nice but this one stood out and went in my book. I was thinking MS65 for sure...well I thought that until I looked at my pictures. Pictures always seem to make them worse but I like the way these pictures came out, the black background helps..


    What do you think....(ZOOMABLE)

    Do I see a triple Talon Clash???
    Jaw Line clash on the reverse too.
    Cool coin.
    MS63-64ish.

    Looks like a fingerprint at 11-12 on the obverse.
    Give it an acetone bath before they set in permanently.

    Dang, that looks just like the 71-S Business Strike Triple Talon Head. They are much more pronounced though. Normally on the Silver Business strike Talon Head you have to manipulate the coin in lighting to see the triple clashes (not the strong single one).

    Nice clean 64-5 of a mid die state, but very nicely struck. Cool piece.

    Definitely gemmy. MS65-ish, for sure! But I agree about those fingerprints... give it an acetone bath, stat!

    OK guys I have uploaded some closer pics...and I hope better. Tell me what you think. I now think it for sure is something I just do not know what. I know on the other thread a Triple Talon in AU55 went for $50 or so. So that is where I think this one should start (if) real. These are zoom-able for you. I dipped in Acetone but the fingerprints remain. However a lot of other junk came off it...

    Looking at Talon heads, this if MS64 would sell for a around $50 or so...In case some were wondering...the fact that it is three...then maybe a little more. If it grades at 65, well double it.

    A good 64 maybe a 65 in hand. Nice triple talon.
