Here's it next to a brown penny: http://www.flickr.com/photos/317174.../8005029583/ The quality of the planchet seems to be lacking however with its numerous craters and what not. What do ya'll think the grade is? Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 08:47 am it looks porous to me and it may have been buried and dipped because the color looks un-natural to me if that is the actual color of the coin Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 10:53 pm I agree dipped at one time, cleaned before that. May be whizzed or more than likely has some corossion hence the pourus surfaces, I'd say this example has a lot of detail still on it at around EF40 but it would net out to a VF20 grade at most.
