and the back....

You've got some nice detail on that coin, Bruce. Nice preservation of lines in the shield, especially for a circulated piece. Good wreath detail with the rachis of the leaves showing, crisp stars and reverse lettering, and the 5 is not flat on one side. Slightly off-center strike, as is common with shields, but overall a great looking piece.

Bruce - as for the grade, I'd be hard-pressed to guess from the photo. I might venture to say a high AU, but really don't have a good way to guess without the piece in hand. It's nice, no matter what the grade may be.
