RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 3:27 pm Just getting around to some recent purchases. I have trouble grading the AU to MS grades on these. Your thoughts on grade? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 6:21 pm Incuse coins are often graded by the fields which are the highest relief surfaces on this type of coin. Your coin looks AU+ to me. AU55 if pinned down to a number. The luster appears subdued with slight friction apparent. The surfaces look good with minimal contact marks. It is a nice coin that falls a bit short of MS IMHO. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 03:24 am I find incuse designs are the hardest to grade, for sure from a photo, this is the type of coin one really needs to be able to turn and pivot under a light to look for the slight rub areas and broken luster that can't show up from a static photo alone. From this single photo I could go from AU53 to MS64. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
