Picked this up on trade with my lcs No hairlines but it's been wiped and there's a few streaks on the obverse. Can see it's been cleaned due to that. I'm going to send to NGC I think with some halves. I normally would not buy a raw 78cc Trade but it's a known variety and it tested good and weighed good. Curious your thoughts on the technical grade ( besides details ) I will upgrade as I can but was super happy to snag this hard date.      Edited by JasonKflo

The flattened face notwithstanding, I think there's enough device depth overall to warrant VF details. Cleaning just a bit too harsh for the TPG to forgive, but definitely a nice pick up. |

Agree, VF details (cleaned).

Congratulations on getting the series key date. I agree on sending to a TPG for grading as it will help if you sell. I am at F Details scratched and cleaned, but would not be surprised on VF details. I have seen a number of circulated 78CC TD's that are over graded, and for some reason the TPG's go easy on this date. |

I would like to optimistically think
VF details scratched and cleaned, but otherwise pleasing enough, considering it's problems.
Although I am not a fan of slabbed coins,
nevertheless,
I hope NGC treats this one kindly.
I feel that it certainly will not harm it's valuation.

Put me down in the VF25 details, cleaned, rev. scratched camp for now. Still a scarce coin in any grade.
The odd marks around the date area are worth investigating further.

Could be XF details
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."

Too much wear for XF, in my opinion.

VF Details in my opinion.
Errers and Varietys.

Well I knew it was cleaned. I thought VF details cleaned but got XF details harshly cleaned. Still looks ok to me for a key date so whatever haha  |

It is hard to put a value number with the harshly cleaned tag. My guess is in the $2500 range. A lot of 78CC's have the detail tag, and you may be better off with the XF harshly cleaned verses the VF cleaned.

I paid 1200 so I'm thinking it's a good place holder and as far as harshly cleaned it doesn't look bad
To me .
