Well, CCF's bosox knows this series in original mint state condition better than most... I would be interested in hearing his opinion...

Roger you cannot compare colour with 1876. And 1908 totally different to start with.


Yes, I can. They are both of the exact same composition (bronze). I was not comparing the strike or any other features of the coin - I know what mint state bronze looks like, and I also know (thanks to the XRF) the nuances of colour (toning) and external factors can do to the surface of bronze. The only laws I adhere to, are the laws of physics and chemistry...

In think PCGS would grade this one 62RB or 63RB. I think it has been played with long ago, but so have many other Vickies. I think PCGS would probably not BB it. Caveat - It is tough making such judgments from a photo.
