ACTF_ZETT Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 06/14/2013 02:17 am Hello folks, after a long absence from the forums, I'm back. Looking for help on grading the coin pictured below. With almost no experience when it comes to grading, I am thinking somewhere around AU50-55. Sorry I cannot provide a better picture but I am interested in what you experts think! Thanks!

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 06/24/2013 01:56 am I'll go with EF-45. The pictures does not seem to show any hints of surviving mint luster around the stars and lettering that I would like to see for an AU. If it does have some luster in the areas described, I think it could grade AU but only a low one because of the amount of wear. Report this Post to the Staff
