panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 07/10/2013 1:32 pm Morning folks, I'm looking for grades and opinions on this 1860 IHC. I think its in the AU range, maybe 55. I'm having a hard time determining if its been cleaned. the pics are not that great and the lighting could be hiding the surfaces Report this Post to the Staff

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 07/10/2013 2:37 pm I would go w/ mid AU. Has probably been dipped at some point, but not harshly cleaned though. Something about the look of the rim on the right side doesn't look quite right to me though... unless it's the angle the picture was taken from Edited by Dave H 07/10/2013 2:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 07/10/2013 4:21 pm I like it. I'll go AU55, broad bust (more common 1860 variety). Rim is fine, it just looks thick b/c the angle. Possible old dipping. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/10/2013 10:58 pm I agree with your assesment of AU55 nice piece. Cleaned? Maybe tough to tell, probably wouldn't details grade from a TPG on that issue. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 05:08 am I can see that too buddy16cat, EF45/AU53 quite possibly a weaker stuck coin, the wear seems consistent with low to mid AU coins, the diamonds are sure weak though the reverse is quite nice, and the feathers are struck well. So a toss up between EF and AU? "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 11:48 pm I'd say this one is a weak strike AU53 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
