GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 09:18 am I am much better with capped busts than with seated liberties - and this tiny coin is too much for my eyes. It is the 1858 over inverted date variety. The pictures are not the best but hopefully they will suffice. Very difficult to capture this tiny coin on camera. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 09:32 am A tough one for me: I'll go with AU-55. (Could be an MS coin, but I'm going conservative!) Report this Post to the Staff
eagle_eye_18 Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 09:34 am There does appear to be something in the date. Also, the reverse is clashed. I am not familiar with this variety so we will have to wait for someone else to chime in. Nice coin by the way! Report this Post to the Staff
Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1094 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 09:38 am I'll say AU-58, really can't see much if any wear. Love the toning Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 11:15 am I have to default to the above opinions even though evidence exists that much of what we see is an artifact of strike and not wear. For instance, note the "wear" disparity of the upper left of the reverse wreath vs. the upper right. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18684 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 6:33 pm I'm gonna say AU55 with a slightly weak reverse strike. Low MS is a possibility. This is a tough one Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 5:19 pm It appears "grainy" or porous to me, it may be the imaging, but I would give it an AU details. I have been wrong before. I love the variety though! Edited by oih82w8 04/21/2015 10:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 5:36 pm I'd say AU58. A great variety! Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 9:42 pm I'm at AU, but not high AU. I see slight loss of detail on the breast and thigh which I don't think is just due to weak strike. There are obvious signs of friction in the left obverse field and around Half Dime on the reverse. Luster persists around the reverse legends but not so much on the obverse. I'd say AU-50 conservatively with a shot at AU-53. I've never inspected this variety in person but it certainly seems to be the real deal based on these images. Nice! Report this Post to the Staff
