Here's another lower-end coin I've tossed up on ebay, just to see how the market for such things are. I called it AG/G. A fair assessment, or wishful thinking?   |

I'd say more in the neighborhood of FR02/AG03

I think AG would be my guess on condition

Oh Well .. I thought the obverse warranted G4, but I can see how the rim is just a little too flattened out.

The rim's wear gives it the grade of AG3 condition. If there was a little more detail it would garner a G-6 grade.

OK and thanks/ I amended my ebay listing to say AG in the addendum. I don't want to be known as someone who over-grades (like so many I've come across on ebay). I don't think it warrants FR-02 -- there's too much detail surviving for that, especially on the reverse (shield lines, eagle eye, feathers). |

the damage on the mirrors on the obverse warrants an AG details grade

"the damage on the mirrors on the obverse warrants an AG details grade"
I have to disagree there. The tolerance for digs and scratches increases as you move down from XF to PR. In the event I wasted the money to have this slabbed, it would probably read AG-03, but I don't think it would come back with a details grade.

No detailed, classic AG3 grade.

 Looks like AG-3 to me. |

AG3 Pristine2 is right on the money I think.
