It's hard to say given that all we have is a photograph, and the coin is deeply toned on the obverse. I'm going to say MS-61. The finger print on the obverse annoys me, but I think the weakness on the Eagle's breast feathers is mainly due to the strike. The flat spot above Ms. Liberty's ear is a clue to that .

Tend to agree with Bill Here. The coin screams AU on the obverse but the breast feathers seem to be there, however weakly struck. If it's MS, it's pretty low MS.

What does this mean? You traded timber for this coin?

 

I would call it MS63.

I'm with the 61 crowd. A little wear and looks like a few contacts under the toning on the obv.

63 for me.

I got the impression that it was less like "timber" type trees and more like the herbal "medicinal" type trees... could be wrong though. .. regardless though I can't imagine it not being a great trade. ..

I'm still wondering about the trees...

[MarkVIIIMarc]

I like the coin.

 

However I am just dying to know about the trees . A few years ago I gave away almost 100 bare root metasequoias mostly for a promotion at work. Ppl drove 30 miles to get a tree! No one bought anything though.

Toned coins often get a +1 grade over what I expect.
