jeffrose Pillar of the Community United States 1432 Posts	Posted 11/24/2011 1:14 pm I went G-10 on the 2nd since grading guides say F-12 the word "WE" is weak. No E Showing on mine. Report this Post to the Staff

Check the "D" in God - just visible, definitely a Small Motto. It has a very different look than the large motto coins. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 4:09 pm the first coin is a Good because the top OBV details merge with the rim and the second one is a VF. Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 10:07 pm Grading guides are just that "guides" they point you in the right direction but sometimes a coin just doesn't go by these guides. This coin had a weak E in the first place so it wore off quicker then the rest of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 2:39 pm Yeah, that #2 is at least F. Always look over the whole coin and never take any of the checkpoints too literally. I'll stay with your G4, on #1. Report this Post to the Staff
