vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 11:31 pm Kind of hard to tell but I'd wager higher. AU58 at least. I don't see any immediate wear at first glance. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 11/03/2012 12:08 am Wow. You can count the kernels of corn. Interesting streaking.....on the plantchet? Or does this coin have a light wipe from an old dip? REALLY like the superb detail. Report this Post to the Staff
fromms2244 Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 11/03/2012 12:17 am I know my photo taking skills are not top notch... but I tried. The color is better in hand. The luster maybe not as good as the photo shows. I am looking for a Barber expert to tell me if I should send this in. I bought it for au50 money. I would need to be at au55 problem free for it to be worth it? Help me out guys. Report this Post to the Staff

That reverse is about the best I've ever seen, superb ! I don't know if youve used the optimizer before but you can rotate the pics to be upright if you want.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/03/2012 12:43 pm The amount of details remaining does look indicative of an AU coin. I think what is going to determine the grade at this level is the amount of mint luster present. I don't see much luster present and if you say that it might be less in hand, then I think the coin might be a low AU at best. Report this Post to the Staff
fromms2244 Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 11/03/2012 4:45 pm Thanks for the replies. The toning, which I did not capture well, is dark. Both the oversee and reverse have better color than shown. The oversee has excellent luster on the device but toning in the fields. The same to a degree with the reverse...
