It is a little higher grade than the ebay coin in question (Note the stronger rounded central details behind the ear.) Start with the hair curls below the R the seperation of the hair strands are more deeply cut on the ebay coin. Likewise the area where the ribbon bow joins the hair appears to have been sharpened. The hair wave below the curl under the bow has had it's separations greatly strengthened. Next look at the wave by the point of the 1. The lines in that wave have been strengthened. Notice on the PCGS coin those separation lines blend together and fade out just above the curl. On the ebay coin they remain strong and separate up and over the curl and down the other side. I also think there has been some touch-up done to the drapery at the tip of the bust. You'll notice all these separations, especially the ones below the back curl and by the point of the 1 seem unusually "harsh".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
