Having trouble interpreting these seller pictures. Greenish corrosion above the last A in america? Rough surfaces on the reverse? thoughts?   |

Looks like some light corrosion and some porous surfaces. I would grade it EF40

would you value it at EF40 or are you saying it has EF40-details?

I would value it at F-VF $.
Not a scarce date, I would hold out for another example.

It is not a scarce date, but this is a Snow-2 (check out the broken 2 in the date) that the seller didn't pick up on. Very cool to Cherrypick it in XF.

Yeah...EF details. That aside,  it's a cool variety--Snow-2; I have the same coin. Rick Snow calls it "quite scarce" in his attribution guide.  |

Ahh. Not up on all the Snow varieties. Very cool. Too bad about the problems which by the way, aren't too bad.

I think EF is a bit generous, maybe VF25/30 details. Great Snow pick though, that should make up for any loss in grade.

Snow gives this variety 3 stars and calls it 'quite scarce'. I'd love to know a population estimate on this variety, it is definitely pretty cool.
I'll post a close up of the date here when I get it.

He has a store in Tucson and you can get his info off the Internet. Not sure if he spends much time on this site. |
