CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 08/04/2016 5:00 pm I personally don't like the light spot on the reverse, makes me think it might be cleaned. Then again, it might be the picture, so I'll say VF-35 Report this Post to the Staff
billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 08/04/2016 5:22 pm The picture is over exposed on the upper half of the coin. I always under grade these coins, so I'm going to get fast and lose and say AU-50. That grade assumes that there is some mint luster on the piece, and not just a trace. If there is little or not mint luster, it's an EF. Report this Post to the Staff

kkirby99 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 08/04/2016 6:32 pm EF-40. 1917 type 1's should have a good strong strike and I'm not seeing any vertical lines in the shield unless the lighting is hiding them. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/04/2016 6:33 pm Over-exposure could be the problem, agreed. Eagle's breast still looks too worn for AU, but I'm hardly an expert here. Report this Post to the Staff

Papadoc75 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 08/04/2016 8:47 pm Thanks everyone. One again apologies on the glare. I'm not seeing the vertical lines in the shield but there is very good mint luster remaining on the coin. Where that puts it I'm not so sure. Report this Post to the Staff
