DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 8:14 pm I think it should be graded VF35, however, it wouldn't surprise me if it graded EF40 due to it being a key date. Report this Post to the Staff
jamesk Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 8:37 pm I say VF 30 also. To get scratches off a slab I use a little WD 40 lightly rubbed on with a soft cloth or a Q-Tip they seam to disappear. Nice coin Report this Post to the Staff
rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 8:57 pm 30/70 Nice coin you got there. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 9:07 pm Looks like PCGS. I am also calling it VF35. As stated, they tend to bump up the 1877 so, XF40? Great pickup! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 9:29 pm I'm in also with VF-35, nice example... Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 10:46 pm I would say PCGS gave it an XF-40 as they tend to overgrade these a bit, but agree with 30/35. Report this Post to the Staff
Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 10:49 pm EF-40, just because it's a key date. Nice grab! Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 09/19/2011 05:30 am I got to agree with EF-40 also. Nice 'key' date. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 09/20/2011 6:53 pm An 1877 in this shape is a cinch for a EF-40 from the market graders. Report this Post to the Staff
okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 7:09 pm Everyone was low - PCGS called it XF45. Yass - thanks for the "Polishing a scratched slab" link. I'm going to give that a try. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 9:17 pm I'm really not surprised. It's hard to grade a coin from a single pic, especially inside a slab Report this Post to the Staff
