PR55 IMO. Beautiful coins Paddy, glad ANACS got them okay, and that they are on their way back to you now!

Could be better but ANACS is too conservative.

Very nice. Others are saying PR, I can't really say as to difference between PR and MS coins for the FE Series, details wise, looks 53.

I'll guess PR-53. Spectacular coin! |

PR-53 looks about right to me based on the amount of wear of the eagles breast feathers...and comparing against my AU55 (1857) F.E.
Landmark key date! Congrats!

I'll go 45 and can't tell if it's a proof or not. Quote:

Oh, well my mistake. I was always under the false impression that they were only proofs then. The only reason I came to that conclusion, however, is because of NGC's lack of listing said MS FEs on the coin price guide, but they list them under PF.

Well I called the grade, but missed the corrosion. Tough call as I couldn't really tell on your photos what it was. Wonder if any conservation effort would help? Then get a clean grade, possibly at PCGS where the value would increase a lot more. Super coin, I'm glad you got them back without any incident!

I had thought the 56 was a proof only issue.

Very nice. Glad to see it graded and back. Quote:
I had thought the 56 was a proof only issue. According to the PCGS Price Guide. There are 500-600 known MS strikes of this coin. |
