[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 4346243, member: 17557"]Ah yes, my favourite series. The worst area of rub for these is the eagle's left shoulder, and your example looks better than most in this grade range (i.e. upper AU-lower MS). Your coin is nicely struck. I can also see some good luster peeking through on the obverse despite the photo; reverse checks out. Sometimes it can feel impossible to get a good, spot-free example (or at least that's how I feel every time I go to buy one, but that's never the case when looking through HA's completed listings). You've got a teensy little spot on the first feather nearest the 7 on the obverse, and I'm assuming the black looking marks on the cheek are the appearance of regular contact marks under the lighting. Some good chatter on both the obverse and reverse, but no deep gouges (again, a rather consistent finding with this series in the grade range this coin is likely in), though the mark on the cheekbone is the deepest. I'd give it a MS63. Nice piece.[/QUOTE]
