Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6406 Posts	Posted 04/16/2014 01:32 am EF-45, maybe AU-50 details. No significant marks but the apparent complete lack of luster isn't a good sign. Is the weight OK? Should weigh about 16.7 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7664 Posts	Posted 04/16/2014 01:40 am I'm guessing the lighting for taking this pic was fluorescent .... Maybe that's why the coin looks so greenish funky. I'd suggest shooting the pics under incandescent lighting or using natural sunlight. That should help bring out the true color. Based on what I see now though I'd give the coin an XF40. Nice Civil War era Eagle. Report this Post to the Staff

Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 04/16/2014 6:10 pm I am not sure on the color/originality, but this coin makes AU-50 at least all day. Report this Post to the Staff
WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2851 Posts	Posted 04/16/2014 8:18 pm I forgot to mention this was an ex jewelry piece, but I can confirm that it's original. Thanks for the grades everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
