solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 1:03 pm Not sure where to post this because I'm asking like three different questions. 1. What is the grade? 2. What is the damage? 3. Since it's messed up do you grade it normal or different? Edited by solotime 10/12/2013 4:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Going based on the obverse, the technical "detail" is XF-ish, but it's obviously taking a serious hit in value from the "XF Details-Severely Corroded" designation which is how it ought to be described.

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4591 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 3:05 pm I'd be hard pressed to go above VF Details-Severely Corroded, given the lack of tail feather detail. By VF25 there is usually some separation between the tail feathers. I think that would knock the value down to something like AG price. Not to dishearten you, but here's an ebay sale of one a little worse than yours: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1858-Flying...380719926204 -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 4:11 pm I just wasn't sure how it ended up like this. Being in like VF condition is good. I paid around 8 dollars so I'm still happy. The one on ebay is worse then mine. Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
