upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 11/18/2012 6:03 pm Picked this up at a coin show today (breaking my oath with myself to save for my 1877 or bust) but I couldn't resist. My old 1874 is so ugly. It was sold as a fine coin but I think it may go VF, got it for $30. Grades and Comments? Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 11/18/2012 6:06 pm Looking at this post I gotta say: My pic is not good. This coin is not pink, it's a nice natural brown color. It has original surfaces. The reverse is clean and nice also. Report this Post to the Staff
beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 11/18/2012 6:36 pm I think its a nice coin but there is too much wear to give it a VF, but I think it is more likely F-12, maybe F 15 Report this Post to the Staff
hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 11/18/2012 6:42 pm It's probably a F-15. The headband is broken, but the letters are quite bold for a fine, so I go F-15. It could bring VF money though, so I think you did quite well for $30. Report this Post to the Staff

Nice coin and if you like it that's all that matters. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 2:21 pm It's just the lighting in the hood above my range. Not exactly high tech The camera is decent, a nikon 35mm digital, but my technique needs work. Thanks for the look guys, objectively I know it's f15, In my mind it's VF all the way Report this Post to the Staff
