Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 2:27 pm I bought this yesterday, I was wondering what grade do you think this gets? The coin is not graded just want to make sure I was not ripped off Report this Post to the Staff

t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 3:20 pm Based on the flatness of the lowest curl resting on the shoulder, and the flatness at the top of the ear that makes it look connected to the curl above it, I would say VF-20, not quite a VF-30.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 05/24/2007 12:52 am Hi Sleaklight, I'd be inclined to give this one an EF40 grade. Color is nice and the look is original. I had an 1853 slabbed as EF45 by PCI that was more worn than this coin. Granted the PCI opinion was optimistic, but in today's market this coin would I think make EF. A very decent example, IMO.

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 05/24/2007 06:21 am Very nice coin. I'd say VF20 on this one - just a little too much wear to go any higher. This is a beautiful example of this series. Report this Post to the Staff

hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 05/28/2007 11:43 am There's a lot of neat stuff happening on the reverse of this cent such as the leaf tip in the "T" of Cent and another in the N on the left side. Very, very interesting! Edited by hunter20ga 05/28/2007 11:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
