Chump_Change Pillar of the Community United States 618 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 7:38 pm I picked this up today and I want to see if I am getting any better at grading my thoughts. I am questioning the dealers grade on this but I wnat to see. He was calling it higher than I am but thats the reason for this is to learn from. I will post my grade and the dealers and price I paid after there has been some replies on here. Place a value as to what you thikn its worth as well. Thanks all Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 7:44 pm Pictures make it a tough call but it might be VF 30 - XF 40 details. Why is it dark on the surface and light on the rim? I did the scroll control key thing to make it larger and I see some pitting and what appears to be a artificial darkening of the surface to hide something. Actually might have some kind of wood ( black walnut ) stain on it. I would guess it would net grade at VF 25. Worth about 30 bucks or so. That's my guess.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 7:53 pm You're welcome, I just edited it a little to add a price and a theory. Does this sound like the dealers opinion? Report this Post to the Staff
Chump_Change Pillar of the Community United States 618 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 8:11 pm Dealer called it VF and it didn;t cost that much. I am happy. I wondered about the dark color. Thanks again Wheezy Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 8:15 pm It's too dark for me to see the finer details. From what I can see I'd say it's between VF & EF. I'm very suspicious of the color & also wonder whats hidden beneath it. I couldn't begin to guess a value. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 10:12 pm The dark color looks like the coin has been lacquered. From what I can make out the look looks EF-40. Report this Post to the Staff
