ACTF_ZETT Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 04/02/2007 11:29 pm This is my first coin grade post! I have completed my collection of SBA dollars which I would like to get your opinions on, but to start out I would like your comments on the oldest coin of my collection. These pictures are taken with my scanner. I have not figured out how to take very close up pictures with my digital camera yet. Let me know what you think.

ACTF_ZETT Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 04/03/2007 08:59 am When I get some time learn how to take coin shots with my digital camera I will repost this coin. I will say that it looks better than it does in this picture. The LIBERTY is very scarcely visible on the obverse. Would you color this coin as Brown, Red-Brown, or Red? One last Q for ya, the blackening of the coin. Is this a common tarnish? Report this Post to the Staff
hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 04/03/2007 09:06 am I'd go with VG-8, as well. The color is pretty much a toss up with photos...hard to tell what the coin looks like in daylight. Still, a nice coin at 117 years of age! Better than I'll look at that age, I'm sure.

jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 04/06/2007 10:19 am I would definately say a VG08, as has everyone else. Also, the color is definately Brown. A coin in this low of grade would not get really any color designation. And yes, the blackening just happens on some. Report this Post to the Staff
ACTF_ZETT Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 04/11/2007 3:25 pm Thanks for your input everyone. I will settle on VG-8. This coin will always be the 'cornerstone' of my collection, basically because it is my first 19th century coin. Report this Post to the Staff
