DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 04/20/2007 8:21 pm It is difficult to tell the grade from the obverse picture. But I see some strong wheat details and a hint of mint luster so I'm calling it AU, but until the obverse picture is improved I will not go further. Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 04/21/2007 07:34 am Obviously my photo skills are subpar. I already put this coin in my Dansco album, but I will try to get a better photo. If I do I will pots it this afternoon. Report this Post to the Staff

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 10:37 am Well, here are 2 more pictures of the obverse. I don't know if they will be any help, I can't get the detail or the color to come out. The original picture I posted is fairly representative of the color, mostly brown with a hint of red coming through. These pictures show a little more detail, but I couldn't get a clear shot of the cheek & jaw. Under 10x magnification I can't find any wear. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...1_1909_1.jpg http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/..._1909b_1.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
secretsquirrel Valued Member Australia 161 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 10:49 am I'm more worried that the coin may be starting to show some signs of verdigris on the obverse. I do hope I'm wrong and its only a dirty patch. Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 10:57 am If you are talking about the discoloration near the date it seems to be dirt. Not a hint of green at all under 10x magnification, but I will keep an eye on it. Report this Post to the Staff
secretsquirrel Valued Member Australia 161 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 11:09 am That's good. Yes that was the main area as well as above TRUST. The 2 very noticeable red spots on the obverse is usually a sign of trouble on copper coins, maybe in the past and could be dead. Of course they might not have anything to do with verdigris either, fingers crossed Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 3:10 pm The pics are better. Im going to call it AU-55 BRN ,, there appears to be slight wear on the ear, hair and rim . as well as the wheat stalks on the reverse. the coin still has some original mint luster peeking through but I dont think it is enough to keep it in RB color.
