coinsandcoins32 Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 1:47 pm Guess the grade of this 1798 $1 large eagle. I believe that it is B-8. I really love the way this one looks and the wear is just the way that I like it. Here are a few pictures I just took with a new lighting setup, let me know what you think! I tried to get the pictures to match the coin as best I could. It is graded by PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 2:08 pm B-8 seems right to me, and I'm on board with VF20. Great eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18700 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 7:40 pm First thought was VF20..so I'm going with that Report this Post to the Staff
coinsandcoins32 Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 8:00 pm It is a PCGS VF 25. Is anyone surprised? Compared to Photo grade it was a tough call for me between 20 and 25, but they went with 25. Anyway I am very happy with it. Thank you all for guessing! Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 10:31 pm I was thinking VF-20 before seeing the grade. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
yhbearcats Pillar of the Community United States 688 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 10:42 pm I agree with everyone else on VF-20, especially when comparing with photograde. Either way, it is a nice looking coin! Report this Post to the Staff

I am not surprised but I sure as heck wouldn't be resubmitting that one looking for an upgrade. The obverse could make 25 on a good day but the reverse looks 15 to me. Either way it's a beautiful coin and worthy of any collection. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
