I'd grade it at VF 35 as well. There are some distracting hits.

The left obverse field looks like it's been rubbed or polished. For that reason I'd say it would get a "details grade."
As for the sharpness grade, that would be EF, but there are a lot of small marks which makes it "chippy." Overall this coin never saw much circulation, but it has been banged up and cleaned for whatever reasons.

before I saw everyone's estimate I thought XF40 right away.

I would think the nicky rim would put it at a VF30 price tag.

EF-45 details, rim nicks. Not sure of a cleaning as it appears to be an issue with the lighting of the photo.

Honestly think the glare in the left obverse field is flash bounce (which exaggerates the defects), as on the reverse. I think this is probably a very nice solid EF-40 or 45.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks again everyone for your opinions, and Indian Gold Eagle & Coinfrog your both right. I take pictures of my coins with a camera with a light on so I'm sure that is why there seems to be a shine. I posted another Wheat penny and someone stated that I cleaned or polished the coin. I have been buying rolls of coins for little over a year now and I was told NEVER to clean them. Any suggestions on how to photograph my coins so they do not look cleaned or polished? I appreciate all of the different gradings I LOVE THE COIN COMMUNITY FAMILY!! |
