Message:: [QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 2281565, member: 56842"]Definitely not AU in my opinion. I say between 30 and 40. AU-50 Obverse: traces of wear on head, breast, arms, and left leg (yours has more than just "traces", IMHO)Reverse: traces of wear on high points of wings and center of eagle's head; all leg feathers visible (again, yours has more than a trace of wear)Surface: half of the mint luster is still present (I don't see *any*) EF-45 Obverse: light wear on head, breast, arms, left leg, and foot. Nearly all gown lines are clearly visible. Sandal details are bold and complete. Knee is lightly worn but full and rounded. (I don't think any of these apply)Reverse: small flat spots show on high points of breast and legs. Wing feathers have nearly full details. (No)Surface: Part of the mint luster is still present. (No) EF-40 Obverse: Wear shows on head, breast, arms, and left leg (YES). Nearly all gown lines are visible (maybe). Sandal details are complete (maybe). Breast and knee are nearly flat (NO).Reverse: High points of eagle are lightly worn (YES). Half the breast and leg feathers are visible (I guess so). Central parts of feathers below neck are well worn. (YES)Surface: Traces of mint luster may still show (again, no luster that I see) VF-30 Obverse: Wear spots show on head, breast, arms, and legs (YES). Left leg is rounded but worn from above knee to ankle (YES). Gown line crossing body is partially visible (YES). Knee is flat (maybe). Outline of breast can be seen (YES).Reverse: Breast and legs are moderately worn but clearly separated, with some feathers visible between them (YES). Feather ends and folds are clearly visible in right wing (maybe). Pupil in eye is visible (YES).[/QUOTE]
