CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 12:55 pm but I think it is a solid VF - I know there is weakness on the right side (looking at it) and wonder if it might go a little higher in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 12:57 pm This coin has luster; takes it out of the VF category IMO. Strike problems are common on these. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 1:10 pm Sorry, I cannot see the luster in the picture. You are correct then, definitely not a VF if there is luster. Trying again here: if there is luster, and focusing on the strong areas of the coin, would revise my thoughts to high XF, possibly low AU in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 1:23 pm IMO, the obverse shows a softer strike (possibly grease-filled die at points) but on the reverse, on the middle I, the lack of vertical line definition looks to be wear. I'm going with an EF-40 for this one. Also, please feel free to post this beauty on the 4th on November here: https://goccf.com/t/99629#99629 on our "47 Days of 2, 3 and 20 Cents" Extravaganza!
