zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 03/30/2014 3:05 pm Hmm.. definitely lower than VG as said in the listing. aG-3 Obverse, PO-1 Reverse. Id say FR-02. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15425 Posts	Posted 03/30/2014 3:23 pm I'm tracking that one ... trying to make up my mind if the coin will net at PO01 in a PCGS holder. The reverse is comparable to my current PCGS FR02 example and there is a tad more wear on the obverse legends on the ebay coin ... For comparison ... and not to steal your thread ... here is my PCGS FR02 1893 Columbian: Anybody believe the ebay coin is lower?

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12272 Posts	Posted 03/30/2014 3:33 pm Tough call nickelsearcher! I would say the obverse on the ebay coin is a slightly lower grade than yours, with the reverse a toss up between the two. If I had to make a pick on the reverse, I would say yours is just a bit lower in grade. Good luck! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/30/2014 7:14 pm On the positive side there are more than a few people collecting very low grade coins. And they get more the expected value. But since it's a commemorative I'm not so sure. I'm thinking Fr-02 for that coin. Report this Post to the Staff

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 04/01/2014 10:24 pm $31.54 Canadian - I was hoping it would go a little lower than that. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15425 Posts	Posted 04/02/2014 4:37 pm Hopeful the new owner (not me) enjoys the coin and acquires the lowball grade they are hoping for. I took a pass on the coin ... judged that it would be a duplicate FR02 example for me. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
