Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 07:09 am Thinking about bidding on this coin, but I notice the small scratch from the Bust to the "N." I have contacted the seller for better pictures. Opinions and grading on this coin? Seller's pics. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 08:28 am I'll say EF-45. Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 08:42 am I'm thinking AU50. Hard to tell with the weak strikes on a lot of these coins. What about the apparent scratch? Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18700 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 09:56 am tough call on that scratch. its not that deep and not in a key area. if you were to clean this coin say with verdicare or acetone it may enhance that so I would stay away from anything like that and leave it as is. i'd call it XF45/AU but uncertain about surface originality due to the photos presented. the mottled color leads me to believe it may have had a cleaning or just improperly stored. there is also a small rim hit at K11-12 reverse when in doubt...pass. if the coin would pull a details designation I dont think it would kill the value a whole lot maybe 30% Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 12:09 pm Heard back from the seller. He's out of town but will send me more info on Saturday. He says it's not a scratch or he would have listed it as such. Returns accepted. I'll wait and see. Report this Post to the Staff
