Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 7:11 pm Im closer to VF-20, and maybe details because of that gouge. Edited by Adam_E 05/08/2020 7:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 7:14 pm VF-25. I'm thinking it will straight-grade, but that modern staple scratch (?) would put me off from buying it. Let us know! Edited by Coinfrog 05/08/2020 7:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Wideglide Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 9:06 pm Did they details it for the gouge? If not, VF-25. Man, that die was shattered! Report this Post to the Staff

Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 11:10 pm My thoughts on this coin was F15 Details and I bought it because it is one of two die marriages from the New Orleans Mint without the mintmark (use of an 1839 Capped Bust reverse die). It is a WB-12 and is much rarer than the other marriage, WB-4. This one is coming back from PCGS in a F15 straight slab. I guess they dropped a grade for the obverse damage?
