    She’s very nice absolutely beautiful in hand for her condition. A low MS in my opinion but I css as NT seem to capture her true beauty on my cell phone. She has red in numerous places and every so lightly but even toning on the obverse that’s subtle but colorful. Nice mint luster abounds on this coin. Over 87 million were minted but in this condition it’s easily a $40.00 plus coin.

    You might have enough original mint surface and luster left to make Mint State, but the photos lead me to doubt it.

    This one is part of my EF-AU set I've been collecting. It just makes EF-40 in my opinion.

    This 1907 is an AU-53 or so.

    I would grade this on as an MS-63.

    Mine isn’t as bright as yours is John but it’s definitely there. Just can’t pick it up on my Camera. I would think it’s a low mint state but nothing higher than a 62.

    I don't see it as MS. There is something going on at 7 o'clock by the rim and that whitish area that goes up the left side in between the lettering and the profile.
    Also appears to be a big scuff on the cheek. There are a couple of hints of luster on both sides, it appears to have lightly circulated there is some wear on the dentils maybe high AU.

    I'm with the others. Your coin is not MS; a lot of wear on the feathers, denticles, etc. The color seems off which suggests to me a previous cleaning.
