trent Valued Member United States 355 Posts	Posted 03/20/2012 08:17 am Hello, I was wondering what you all think this would grade as? I'm sure it's nothing too wild and sorry for the blurry pics from an angle. I'm guessing F12 to VF20-ish, but am not really experienced at this. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7198 Posts	Posted 03/20/2012 09:09 am I would grade it in the VF 35 range but it looks corroded. Report this Post to the Staff
trent Valued Member United States 355 Posts	Posted 03/20/2012 09:53 am Yes, it's pretty dark. The camera flash lightened it up a little, but the darkness as down on the reverse side is similar to the darkness in the lower areas of the obverse. I don't have any experience with silver, so I don't know how much of it is corrosion vs. tarnishing. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 03/20/2012 10:56 am It's beat up and damaged, possibly corroded, but the wear/details are at least XF. All sticks in the fasces are very clearly separated and the central bands are still raised, which makes it close to AU. The missing details in the periphery lettering is a strike issue (extremely common throughout the series.) Report this Post to the Staff
