jg86 Pillar of the Community Canada 686 Posts	Posted 04/22/2010 2:05 pm There is no way this coin would get an AU grade, from any reputible grading company. Look at 9:00 on the obverse, and 3:00 on the reverse, the denticles are completely worn. If it wasn't for this, I would say it's EF40, but given this, it is probably even lower. This large cents are not my area of expertise, but that's my assessment from a general coin grading perspective. Report this Post to the Staff
dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 04/23/2010 07:45 am I agree that the coin would struggle to get AU. EF is probably where it would settle. I use the hair and crown diamonds for main markers here. Report this Post to the Staff
