I Palindrome I Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 09/05/2005 12:39 am Can you guys give me some thoughts on this one? http://www.bangeman.us/coins/1831.jpg I don't have a scan of the reverse handy unfortunately. Edited by I Palindrome I 09/05/2005 3:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 09/05/2005 07:24 am Hi Palindrome and welcome! Without a pic of the reverse, I can't give you a definite grade. From the obverse, it looks like the coin is VF30/EF40. If the reverse is very sharp, it could be as high as EF45. With clearer pics of the coin (taken out of the holder), I might be able to help you attribute the variety. Report this Post to the Staff
bulldawg Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 09/05/2005 11:38 am Looks to be a vf/xf condition kind of hard to tell. why is it so dark? Edited by bulldawg 09/05/2005 11:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
I Palindrome I Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 09/05/2005 3:53 pm Ok, new scans: http://www.bangeman.us/coins/1831-obv.jpg http://www.bangeman.us/coins/1831-rev.jpg Thanks! I think the darkness is a byproduct of the scan, as the coin is actually not that dark. Edited by I Palindrome I 09/05/2005 3:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

bulldawg Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 09/05/2005 4:32 pm Copied them to my photo shop and lightened them up. I'd conservatively grade it a VF-30. Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 09/05/2005 5:05 pm VF30 now that I have seen the reverse. I'll take a look for attribution either later tonight or tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff
Stujoe Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 09/05/2005 7:44 pm I saw it as a VF too. You won't get any attribution from this end, though. lol Report this Post to the Staff
