Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6398 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 10:26 am The fact that there are luster bands on the 10:00-4:00 axis tells me that 1) your photo setup is capable of showing luster, and 2) the coin is at least in AU territory. Since the luster is strong in the protected areas next to the rim but fades out in the open areas, I think the coin has seen light circulation. I also see a bit of rub on Liberty's right thigh. The strike is not as crisp as your 1862 quarter. I'd give this one an AU-55. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 11:56 am I figured actually that the coin was impaired by an old wipe (which was why the luster was impaired in certain areas) but has never circulated, there doesn't look to be any rub to me and that might just be lighting. I 'netted' it to MS-62 based on that. It doesn't look like a typical AU-55 to me. Report this Post to the Staff

OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 6:18 pm So by Olympic grading standards, we throw out the high and the low and this one comes in at AU-58, well above your album threshold. Your grandfather did this coin thing quite well. BTW, I know I've read a few posts on this board that implied/said Seated Liberty grading standards can be a bit soft, definitely not the other way around. By that they meant the grades come back a bit higher than perhaps absolute strict adherence to grading criteria would yield. I don't have enough experience with the series validate that though.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 01/26/2012 12:59 pm I'd say solid for AU-55. I'd go higher if there was more luster visible. No way is this VF/XF imo, not even close. Report this Post to the Staff
