Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 01/23/2007 7:58 pm This one has caused me quite a bit of confusion. I believe the obverse will grade Fine; however, the reverse is another story - haven't really learned much about split grading yet. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 01/23/2007 8:42 pm Ralph, I would say F-12. I believe most of the grading on these type coins is from the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 01/23/2007 9:36 pm The front is the perfect example of an F-12, all of liberty visible but weak on the L and Y. The back is a quite a bit worse I must say. Although most of the grading comes from the front, I personally would push this down to a net VG. Thundercoin Report this Post to the Staff

okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 01/23/2007 10:28 pm I think a net VG8, but the reverse is AG to Good. Report this Post to the Staff
hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 01/24/2007 04:36 am I'll go with the F-12 obverse, the reverse appears about G-4. Net grade would be VG-8 Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 01/24/2007 08:23 am This coin is no better than VG, but might only sell at a G price because of the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 01/26/2007 11:42 am Okay - thanks for your opinions. I, too, believe it would grade VG, and that's what I will inventory it as. When I post a scan of a coin, I do it with the intention of getting other opinions of the coin's grade - more or less to help me with my grading skills. I don't post my coin scans to determine resale value. In fact, of all the coins I've purchased, not a single one of them has ever been resold - given a scad of them away, but never sold one. Again, thanks. Ralph Report this Post to the Staff
