Thanks for everyone's comments (including MikeF), this one will go in the pile for TPG submission. I had it at VF35 obverse and EF40 reverse so I think a TPG would grade her at VF35 (we will see). There are a few dings on the obverse in the field on the right but it is not intentional scratches nor a star.

OK. Here it is with the word 'ignorant' redacted.

I'm afraid the shield will hold this one back. vf-35 here but it's a beautiful original example. Disregard the comment about it not grading straight.


I would like to remind the admins that there was an entire thread written with 4-5 pages of comments about Numismatic Student's practices of shooting down other member's coins with misinformation. He just pulled that crap on one of my coins a day ago with a CAC approval.

I must respectfully disagree with MikeF on numismatic student's grading. He may give some coins a details grade more than other members, but there is absolutely no need to call his grading "crap".

Remember that not all of us agree. That's what makes the forum what it is. People here can politely disagree without others getting angry at them.

Sorry bud, I call em like I see em. You might take offense if you were to ever post one of your choice CAC coins for grading.
There are plenty of others who have. Misinformation helps no one and especially harms new users who don't know which opinions to value over others. We've already hashed this out on that other thread, silver dollar. There's no need to step in the BS.

I've posted many coins for grading and never had trouble with numismatic student's grades. If there is "no need to step in the BS", then why are we starting another argument like we did in the other thread?

Nothing is ever deleted permanently here. Here is the "crap" you say he pulled on you the other day. He politely gave his opinion, then YOU proceeded to make fun and laugh at his opinion. The only one pulling "crap" was you, you started it. There is no need to act like that. Especially when we're all grading from pictures and you made NO mention that the coin was even graded let alone CAC'd.

How about "This coin is in a PCGS holder and CAC'd so with the coin in hand they decided it was not stained" instead of acting all condescending. By far not the first complaint of this type about you. "Callin' em like you see em" does not require condescension.

It's your site Bobby and you make a fair point. I will make sure I don't come off as condescending when Numismatic Student gets it wrong with detail grades in the future. Though I will probably point them out but I will do so in a respectful manner.

It's been echoed on this site many times and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels inaccurate opinions do NOT serve the community well but I understand the need for civility when correcting fellow members and that my previous method was probably not the best approach.

Sorry for the ruckus!

I'd grade it at VF 35 also using PCGS Photograde as my guide, the word LIBERTY on the shield isn't complete anymore and surface has condition issue.

Surfaces look fine, nothing looks like damage there, just chatter in fields. Very nice VF35.

It is a hard series to grade and always has been. It was close to others that I've seen that were XF so that's why I gave it a "40" in the first place.

Posting pics in the slab might be helpful when you get it back.

Thanks for the update! Nice coin. Congrats!
