this coin is better than G6. too much hair and facial details and the reverse is much stronger than G. the face has some roundness left. surfaces not that bad and look original, except for the little rim issue at 2oclock reverse. I like this coin and would love to own it. this coin grades at VG8 and I think NGC could have a VG10 on it. really nice example. note the die crack between the I and T on reverse, this may be able to give the attribution. I dont have a book

Agree this is a very strong example. VG8 minimum possibly VG10

I think NGC might have a F12 grade assigned to it, I think it's a really nice original problem free example that is a VG10 at least!

I think it graded VG-10. A very nice example!

After looking again at this very nice LC, my opinion is VG10. But, I think realistically that because the surface of the coin is just a little rough (could be the enlarged photos) I would want to pay VG8 - JR EAC price that is listed at $1250 in Average condition. This coin if indeed is S-89 is somewhat rare....Really nice coin.

i also think it has a shot at F-12. worst case VG-8.

A 1796 LC needs a little more crisp detail than this coin has to grade Fine-12 for serious Copper collectors.

1893S I agree with you, but this is NGC grading (A TPG I think that is really, really, inconsistent when it comes to grading copper coins), they are not even close to EAC standards, which by the way are pretty interesting and not so easy to learn. I just picked up "Robinson's Copper Quotes" and am trying my best to understand the EAC standards through it. Very informative booklet. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Still think it's a nicer coin than NGC called it, maybe not a F12 but a VG10 for sure. F12 was my call just because NGC gets copper wrong more often than not IMO lately.
