This didn't fill a hole, I can't say I need it. This coin is making me sell the other one I have....All that being said what would you grade her? I need to buff out the slab.   |

There are very few indications of rub, except on the WE which always shows circulation first.
I'm between 55 and 58, but I do like this coin and I think it would make 58.
I recently bought a 1865 65 RB for no good reason. I put in stealing bids on a few items and it slipped through the cracks into my hands. I didn't need it but I love it.
By the way - WHAT DO YOU DO to buff out your plastic?

I have some plastic convertible top cleaner for convertible tops that have plastic rear windows made by Meguiars. On the few slabs I've tried it on its done a pretty good job. Terry cloth and cleaner wax.

Au58 I have a beautiful red brown or red at PCGS right now. The 1871 is 2nd lowest minttage wise behind the 72. The 1871 gets pricey past AU. $400-$600 in ms depending on brown, red brown, or red.

For deep scratches, I use Micromesh. As for a grade. Looks a solid AU-55 and would not object to seeing this in an AU-58 holder. Real nice coin.

58bn. nice fields  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."

I don't see much rub in the pics but I'm going on the assumption it has some, somewhere. I'll grade it AU-58 and a very nice one at that!

Look at the WE, Chester. That's the easiest place to see rub.
