nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15951 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 7:50 pm There are certainly collectors with enough knowledge to authenticate this coin ... alas I am not one of them and hopeful that you are. Appears authentic from my limited knowledge ... I'm in at F12/F15 ... but not an expert opinion. Lovely example of a rare key-date coin.

Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 7:51 pm Congrats on your purchase...F15 was my first thought. Report this Post to the Staff
zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 7:51 pm F-12 seems right although F-15 wouldn't surprise me. Report this Post to the Staff
nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 8:46 pm I think the picture or scans are flooded and the obv looks like there is not very much definition. The reverse wheats look awful strong for a Fine grade. I'm in the VF range. nlp Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 8:48 pm It appears to be obverse #4. Report this Post to the Staff
Saifa New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 10:47 pm I would say strong F12 to F15 range. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 12:40 am I have to agree with nlp coins. I think it grades VF-20 maybe VF-25 with the right graders. Report this Post to the Staff
Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 02:21 am With that obverse, it should be a Fine. But key dates are often overgraded so who knows. Nice pickup! Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 37206 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 11:50 am F-12 and looks genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 12:21 pm F-12 I do not see any huge red flags, so I would say it's real. Are you going to get it slabbed? Report this Post to the Staff
Pennynickelguy Valued Member United States 308 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 8:22 pm Thank you all for your grades. When I bought it, I though the Obverse looked F-12 and the Reverse looked VF-20. So I purchased it based on F-15 (and paid my co-worker a fair price). As for getting it slabbed I think I will down the road. But for now I am enjoying it next to all my other wheats! Thanks to all!
