mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 9:08 pm I think this coin may actually be worthy of a MS rating but I am unsure of the level. Please fire away. mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 9:25 pm I don't think its MS by the pictures. looks like it has to much wear on the high points to me. If it were mine I would grade it XF but it may go AU Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 9:42 pm definitely not MS, there's wear all over liberty's hair, cap, cheek, and eye. i agree with what Bryan said, XF/AU Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 10:30 pm I would grade this coin at EF-45, there are several rim ding and what appears to be a scratch across Liberty's face. Report this Post to the Staff
scott hill Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 10:32 pm I see the slightest of wear on the highest points of the hair cap etc.Au55 Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 11:05 pm I think the lack of luster is keeping the members here from grading higher...the revers is a clear MS63/4 but it is about 5/10% of the grading standards...with the scratch on the face it could go MS 60/62 net but with no luster its backed up to AU I don't think thats fair but it is what it is....but some whould look for original coins such as this and pay more too........the grade is a tuff one to call...as its steel grey, but much sought after...

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 11:20 pm It's an attractive piece but the obverse has too many rubs to go MS. AU53 is as high as I would grade this coin. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
