panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18725 Posts	Posted 06/09/2013 11:58 am Obverse G4. reverse a little more detail at G6. Net G4 due to the rims almost gone plus the grind marks on the obv rim from 12-OC to 6-OC would most likely warrant a details grade in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
new2coins69 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 06/09/2013 12:22 pm Thanks. I was thinking the wear. Even at G4 I'm happy with it. All of the coins I got have been heavily cur. I wish I could have found so AU or MS coins, but still the history and where I got them is more important to me. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18725 Posts	Posted 06/09/2013 3:54 pm hard to say, definitely something abrasive. maybe sandpaper. there are a what looks a couple pits on the shield. this coin could have been dug and then cleaned up. that would make sense.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 06/10/2013 11:37 pm I will go with AG details, environmental damage. The rim is wearing into the lettering around the periphery and the toning looks dark enough that it is probably beginning to etch the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
