mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 12:30 am Hello, I need opinions on the: a) grade, b) S number, c) R number, & d) the approximate retail value this coin would bring. I believe that I may have unfortunately paid more than I should have for this coin. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 08:51 am I'm seeing F-15 minimum, possibly VF-20 or higher. There is not enough wear to the hair details to constitute a VG grade. Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 11:11 am Serious strike weakness. I'd go VF25. Looks lacquered? I think this would grade. Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 7:00 pm I would say VF-20, the reverse just looks an awfully weak strike. Obverse shows the actual detail the coin has. Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 06/09/2014 12:04 am VF details. The "ONE CENT" is corroded on the reveres but the leaves and legend are still nice. Like the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
