Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 11:14 am Those photos aren't very good...too much reflection and washes out the details. I'd have to say VF+. I'd need to see the wear on the cheek better along with the overall wear on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 11:05 pm I'm a little confused with the striations on the reverse columns of your coin. (Maybe it's the photography?) Yours look diagonal versus the vertical ones on this coin: Report this Post to the Staff
LincError Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 4:37 pm yes my digiscope is old and the quality of detail is low in the pics. the coin I have looks like the one you posted with the columns, mine have full spread with no wear like that one Report this Post to the Staff

LincError Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 5:51 pm I took it to 4 coin shops, one of which the owner worked for a grading service years ago and all gave it a grade no less than EF40. Thanks for all the help :O) Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/23/2011 08:49 am This coin has the detail I would consider for an EF-40 grade. (I don't see that on your 3 cent. Again, it may be the photography). I would grade yours VF-20. Report this Post to the Staff
