AU50 is correct. if you see this FC how do you think TPG's assess strike on the bust halves. do they net grade it down, or since it left the like that do they ignore it to a degree? have you seen certain TPG's are more consistent in assessing it?

The top TPGs do better with strike quality on 19th Century coins than the early 20th Century coins ( Buffalo nickels and SLQs are a definite challenge for them). They certainly know and expect that there is wide variance in planchets, dies, and strike in the CBH series. Where they struggle is with distinguishing circulation wear from strike quality on AG-03 to VG-10 coins. Just an anecdotal note here, but I think that when they do an attribution, they seem to do better when they grade the coin. The basement slabbers and lower tier TPGs are . . . not good. EDIT: The basement slabbers struggle distinguishing between a genuine CBH and a contemporary counterfeit. If you are looking for the valuable contemporary counterfeits, keep Keith Davignon's book handy and an eye on the off-brand slabs.
