XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 8:57 pm Since the letters in states are merging into the remnants of the rim I would grade it at AG3 Report this Post to the Staff

buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 9:17 pm I don't think that "states" merging into the rim would reduce this coin to AG. Not all coins are graded using the same standard. I have seen coins with some merging receive higher grades with some coins but for others, merging is found on AG coins. It seems this depends on the age of the coin. AG coins in this series have the eagle worn completely smooth which is not the case of this coin. I am really wondering though if the merging could net this coin to a G grade but the details on the eagle look to be a VG grade. Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 06:34 am " the letters in states are merging into the remnants of the rim " I disagree. The rim is touching the tops of the letters but not actually merging with them. Both "Ts" show the top horizontal bar. At least a G4 Report this Post to the Staff
