After a second look at your posted images, I have changed my mind about the earlier grade that I assigned to this coin. I now see the coin as firmly FINE. I did not see the partial E in the motto on the first viewing. It is interesting to me that other members of the forum assign the coin a grade of VF. In my own opinion and it is just that, an opinion of a non-expert, the coin does not meet the standards of VF in that the word LIBERTY and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST are neither strong nor are the words E PLURIBUS UNUM fully strong on the reverse with the E being only partially visible. If the E were stronger, I would grade the reverse as VF.
Only an opinion, and according to the USMC.................

It will go fine.10 and possibly Fine.15. That's a good year to have, and the first year.

My original thought was VF-20 and then I reassessed after reading Roderick's post. I can see someone calling it a F-15. However, there is a VF-25 coin for sale on Harry Laibstain's website that is very close to this one. Based on a comparison of hat coin, I am sticking to my original VF-20. I'd be happy with that coin in my collection.

I don't think this one will make VF. F15 for me.

Back from the graders. Better than expected.  |

No criticism at anyone intended, but looking back at this thread, does anyone else feel the later responses were influenced by an early, authoritatively-voiced opinion?
And, congrats BrickellCat!

I was basing it off my own Trade dollar graded VF-30 by NGC and by another one for sale. This coin was nice but I think NGC gave it a generous grade. I'm not saying this to put down this coin because I like it. They just seem to be a little inconsistent lately. |

Nice coin, I missed it when you posted it. I first always look at the coin as the page scrolls down, before reading and letting others comments influence me. I was at VF and self debated whether or not it would get a details grade due to an old cleaning, decided it would probably not, as the coin has sufficently aged with nice patina to be passsed off as wear at VF. I don't know that I would have gone 35 points though maybe 25 but congrats that's a great looking coin!

fikret: Your coin is a fake, not to mention it's a bad fake. Date looks all wrong. Wrong details and all. Trade dollars are THE most heavily faked silver coin in the world. Also, just a heads-up: next time, start a new thread for a new topic. |
