I'm somewhere around AU50ish. I think it would grade higher if the obverse didn't have so many dings int it. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 12:57 am Dings are more of a factor in Mint State grades. I agree your coin looks AU50 or maybe a bit better. Washingtons are tough to grade and this one might be AU+ if it could be viewed in-hand. Nice early date! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
phankins11 Valued Member United States 355 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 10:13 am Thanks BH1964. It would be a nice hole filler for my album until I could afford a better example. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 04/14/2013 01:35 am The pictures are a little on the small side for grading and checking authenticity. I don't see anything suspicious with the coin. Overall, I think it can grade around a AU-55. Most of the luster appears to be intact with a little bit of scuffing in the fields and light wear on the cheek and breast feathers. The hits are not desirable but I feel they won't cause a details grade or get it downgraded to a low AU. Great looking key date! Report this Post to the Staff
cc99999 Pillar of the Community United States 1302 Posts	Posted 04/14/2013 1:27 pm If that coin was Mint State it would probably go MS-60 or MS-61. I tend to believe this relates to almost uncirculated coins in the AU-50 grade. The reverse is stronger, but too many focal area marks take away from the coin's eye appeal on an absolute basis. Is it a great coin to have if you don't want to put $600 or more dollars into this issue? Sure! Congrats. Report this Post to the Staff
