TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 9:56 pm Just purchased my first flying eagle. What grade do you think & how much should I have paid? I think I might have paid a little too much, but I like it anyways. I have been on this site a lot lately and I really appreciate the expertise that is shared. Thanks to all in advance!

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/23/2011 05:50 am I'd call this F-15 to VF-20...but the surfaces look weird which I think is masking some of the true detail Report this Post to the Staff

I graded this one of mine to be a Fine grade, maybe this can further explain what I mean.. I could also just be very conservative on my grading? Report this Post to the Staff

I thin you are being too conservative on your grading, that's a great look FE, I would call it VF25 probably, but it looks great. As to the OP's coin, I would call it Fine, but I agree that the surfaces make the coin not very attractive. I would have discounted the coin due to that, but it still has fairly nice details.
