Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/01/2013 12:03 pm Okay, once you describe it I can see it. I am trying to grade the 1994-p LMC I posted in this forum and using the PCGS Photograde I can narrow it down to somewhere between AU-55 and MS-62, but of course I don't have the reverse for the LMC to refer to. Am I getting close or am I way off? Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/02/2013 03:50 am Obverse is "okay" and the reverse has some "yikes" in it. F12 details cleaned as others before have said, but not a harsh cleaning, probably an old buff and polish with a soft cloth to brighten it up. The yikes part I don't like is the digs and scratches on the reverse. Cool to have had a coin that long (42 years) and still have the purchase record. No matter what it's increased in value more than a dollar bill would have or a dollar in a bank! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/02/2013 12:58 pm Yeah it's like an old friend after having it so long. I bought it and an 1857 FEC for another quarter (still have it too)because an older kid in my neighborhood needed money to go to the movies with his friends and had none.

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 10:48 pm mintmark to far right - rarest mintmark position for the 1908-S. It doesn't command a premium (yet!), but it is interesting to note. Report this Post to the Staff
