    this particular coin isn't my cup of tea, but I'll go out on a limb and say its either an au-58 or a weak strike ms-62 ish

    Tough coin to grade! I want to say AU58, but I am certain that it got an MS grade. It is weakly struck on the tailfeathers and on the reverse coen stalks. I'm gonna call it a 63, though I could be off, as I'm having real difficulty with this one.

    Nice coin - I am going to go with MS63(weak strike as mention) mainly because of the uneven color and the contact marks. Also is the a rim ding at 6 o'clock on the reverse or that just the holder. Still a real nice coin.

    Weak on the tail as mentioned. My heart says MS62 so I'm going with that.

    Why was this series so short lived though? ABSOLUTELY A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN! And that's a beauty that you have there!

    I'll say MS62, but that's just my opinion. Still a really nice large letter variety coin.

    No way is it an AU, 1858 LG Ltrs.
    Ms-62 or better.
    the only thing holding it down is the mark over the date to the left.

    Well, the next question would be then, what would you pay for it.

    MS-63. I would say it's worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $500

    My grade is GM-100.

    That stands for Give Me 100% !!
    :D

    Nice Coin, Sir !

    FE's are weak struck coins, so I got to give it an MS-62.

    Are those deep scratches on the back, or die cracks ?
    I assume scratches.
