chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 7:10 pm My mistake, your right, thanks! I believe I uploaded four pics for two different posts with the same file names and the server did not know which ones to show, so it showed the most recently uploaded pics for both.

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 10:27 pm One in fine condition sold for $24.00 on E-Bay about 2 weeks ago. Yours looks to be in about the same condition http://www.ebay.com/itm/1869-Narrow...047675.l2557 The Cherry Pickers Guide calls the tall date very scarce, and referenced an xf @ $35 value. Personally, I wouldn't spend the $$$ on getting it slabbed. It's not worth the cost... Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 10:35 am Checking out the CCF grading standards: Quote: Shield Nickel General Grading Standards G4 Good - All letters in motto readable. VG8 Very Good - Motto stands out clearly. Rims worn slightly but even. Part of shield lines visible. F12 Fine - Half of each olive leaf is smooth. EF40 Extremely Fine - Leaf tips show slight wear. Cross over shield slightly worn. AU50 About Uncirculated - Traces of light wear on only the high points of the design. Half of mint luster is present. MS60 Uncirculated - No trace of wear. Light blemishes. MS63 Uncirculated - Some distracting contact marks or blemishes in prime focal areas. Luster may be impaired. I'm going with F-12. Nice rare variety! Report this Post to the Staff
