they are a lot more lenient on 18th century coins. the scratches on this one are not significant enough to details the coin. I've heard that they look for displaced metal to determine it. in this case...none displaced.

I would guess Au-58, I feel its seen a small amount of circulation but I'm new to this.
I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? |

I'm thinking the sharpness of EF45 with points off for the obverse scratches and hard hit on the reverse at A in America. Net EF40 for me.

I personally think it is XF-40, but I think PCGS gave it an XF-45. The scratches aren't too bad, so they shouldn't detail the coin.

They called it a 45! You guys really seem to be able to predict the behavior of TPGs as well as anyone.

It looks very promising and the PCGS grade has real meaning, but keep in mind that TrueView pics lie. At least in my experience.
Heritage Auctions now provides their own pics in addition to Trueview, because there were so many complaints about deception.

On the scratches, PCGS looks at the size, location, severity, recency, and number of scratches. These scratches look old and superficial. Straight grade, all the way. What absolutely kills classic coins are the staple scratches. They look out of place (and ARE), and there isn't any way to ignore them. They are pretty much automatic details coins. No opinion on the grade, but there is quite a bit of luster visible. This is a beauty. I'm guessing this critter would be priced a couple cars and a truck over my allowance. |

Thanks so much everyone!
Oldfordman, what grade do the details look to you, if not 45? Lower? Higher?
