GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 05/20/2007 11:54 pm I am still new to grading myself. My guess is AU50. I am curious to see what others grades are in comparison to mine. Report this Post to the Staff
Lovethebluesman New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 05/21/2007 11:45 pm I'll say AU-45. Was going to say AU-50, but the reverse has a pretty distinct lacking of luster (possible tarnish?) between the 9 o-clock and 11 o-clock positions. I also see a slight bit of lacking of luster on the reverse 5 o-clock position. That also might be possible tarnish too. That being told, I say AU-45.

AU is 50 through 58. That would be EF-45 Report this Post to the Staff
Southern Yankee Pillar of the Community United States 891 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 08:26 am I'm going out on a limb here and say ms64fsb. The pics are a little dark for me but it looks like that might be toning on the reverse instead of rub. If it where that much rub on the fasces I would think there would be some more in the fields that what I see. The bands look like they could possibly be fully split. Hard to tell from the pics.

Lovethebluesman New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 10:59 am @USArmyParatrooper, Thanks for the correction. I ment EF-45. I'm still learning it here and shoulda remembered the 40s go EF. Edited by Lovethebluesman 05/22/2007 11:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 11:51 am Southern Yankee, great guess considering the picture quality isn't exactly steller. I'm surprised you could pick out the FSB. Edited by USArmyParatrooper 05/22/2007 11:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
