Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 7:43 pm Looks solid VF for wear, maybe even close to EF. Some of the weak detail is probably due to strike, not wear. The hair over the ear in particular has the look of a weakly-struck coin. Is the coin in a holder? The various fine scratches look like they might be on a plastic window rather than on the coin. Color is a bit unusual which could be from the photo or could be a result of some kind of cleaning or "altered surface" issue. I don't see any obvious signs it could be a fake but you have to be alert to the possibility. I would advise any collector to have this key date authenticated to ensure you are not being taken in by a well-made counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 7:52 pm EF-40 details,possibly cleaned. Recommend you get this one slabbed to confirm authenticity. Very valuable in any grade Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 8:08 pm Not knowing how true to actual appearance these "shots" are. I'm thinking maybe a scan? Anyways, it appears to be weakly struck with very little wear therefore I think maybe AU50/AU53. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 8:25 pm I am curious if there is a lump of metal above the 9 or not because it's probably not a good sign if there is one. Maybe some pictures showing the luster and the true color would help in authentication and grading. If it is genuine, the coin could grade a high VF to EF. Report this Post to the Staff
Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 10:42 pm I'm agreeing with a couple of other folks - strike looks weak. AU50? Report this Post to the Staff
