<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 329995, member: 3726"]First let me say it is a nice coin - so don't get distracted! I would really need to have this one in hand to form a better opinion. Okay - first my concerns (these could all be just because of the big pictures you attached and you have the coin in hand) - (1) The color looks flat in some of the lower parts of the coin (above one cent and below the bow, above the first feather) (2) The spots on the cheek and above the eye - are those rubs or just brown spots? (3) the shield looks like it has little rub. Again this could be because of your pictures - you have the coin in hand. Based off of what I see I would say AU58. Again based off what I see from your pictures - I could have a completely different opinion with the coin in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now having said that - when I saved the pictures on my PC(at a decent size) and look at the obverse - I say wow a 63 rb maybe 64 rb, depending on what the tick marks on the cheek look like. Then the reverse I still worry about the flatness of the color in those areas and the shield. Again this may not mean anything because sometimes (to me at least) in pictures the red looks flat and not as lusterous as a good rb.</p><p><br /></p><p>So all in all I say you have a nice coin. In a second I will attach one of the questionable color coins from PCGS - one I disagree with, but oh well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
