Neo13x Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 7:41 pm I'm having a little trouble with this one. Not only is it hard to get a good picture it's been hard for me to decide on the grade. I'm thinking it is XF45 possibly AU50 but maybe I'm being to generous. I would like to hear some opinions to help me out. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 7:56 pm Better pictures would help. From these, XF-45. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 8:37 pm The lack of luster would likely keep it out of an AU grade. It's XF for sure though. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

It has a natural looking tone to it which the pictures do not show well at all. I was concentrating on getting clear pictures that would show the detail the best which I have to admit the lighter color doesn't allow. Report this Post to the Staff

Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 10:13 pm Hmm... I guess the first round of pics were deceiving. I now have to agree with the others: EF-45. Report this Post to the Staff

buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 01/17/2015 01:44 am I thought XF too when I saw this coin and was wondering if there was an old cleaning due to the lighter spots on the fields. Edited by buddy16cat 01/17/2015 06:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
