[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2308920, member: 71510"]If you mean the 67 vs the 68, I like the 67 much better. It appears to be a deeper strike, but coin in hand is the only true way to judge. The grey scaled images on my laptop don't do the coins justice. The reverse is much more detailed - at least in photo. The PEACE is a good tell of strike, the most important to me is the feathers and detail of the eagle's head. As for your coin, assuming the streak across her crown is bag damage, I would agree on 61/62. There is a lot of chaff in the fields, a deep gouge on her nose, and several in other places. The cut on the wing in the reverse and again more chaff throughout the coin. The strike is very good, the feathers and head are strong on the reverse, the hair is almost fully formed on the obverse. Again, these photos online don't do my laptop justice, but it's possible that there was some wiping done above TRUST behind her hair and through RTY which could render a "Details" grade. It could be the flash or lighting, but it's also possible it may go AU from the high wear areas on the obverse. Wild guesses at these without the coin in person.
