muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7194 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 12:16 pm I would even go VF 35. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 12:27 pm VF30 is reasonable, and I think you're looking at a Retained Cud. Very cool. Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 12:44 pm I will say XF40 all day. A beautiful work of art you have there. Report this Post to the Staff
14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 1:26 pm I agree with Muddler and VF35 and with SuperDave and the Retained Cud. Yes, a beauty indeed! Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6390 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 1:30 pm Your coin has complete visible edges to the LIBERTY band and the eagle's wing feathers are outlined all the way to the wingtips. I think that qualifies the coin as EF. Nice original example! Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 1:36 pm I think XF too, maybe a bit of strike weakness on the band, but overall it looks XF to me. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 4:28 pm Looks EF-40 to me as well. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Jay Kristofferson Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 7:44 pm If I buy it it is VF but when it come to sell it then it is EF. I think likely a better VF ... too much wear on the eagles upper feather tips, feather shoulders and crest. Liberty band weak. To say EF, which it still could be, I would want to see it in different light and angle, looking for slight luster and wear vrs. strike. There does seem to be some luster. Whatever the grade ... nice lookin' coin. Just my 50 cents worth. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 8:25 pm this is most likely a weakly struck high grade coin, not a VF/low XF strongly struck coin in my opinion. Look at the hair detail under the band...the band looks weak because of striking. There is not very much wear in the hair. The coin also looks to have shine by has weak wing detail.
