<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numis-addict, post: 1836207, member: 35784&quot;]The problem is, these coins were all photographed at different times in different conditions. I agree that the second coin looks like it is worn on the obverse, but it can be very hard to tell from pictures sometimes. The first one has visibly more luster than the OP&#039;s coin. As for the breast feathers, they are unimportant in this case. On an unworn coin, the breast feathers level of detail is determined by the quality of strike, and strike isn&#039;t extremely important until about MS65. Anything above MS60 should have no wear according to technical grading, but market grading dictates that really nice AUs can get a low MS grade. That may be the case for the second coin you posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
