KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/03/2007 5:42 pm Here's a coin I'm considering. Any thoughts on the condition or other possible issues? This is an S-47, and I might grade it as far as F15. Btw, the color between obverse/reverse is due to different lighting conditions. The patina is described as chocolate brown. TIA! As a point of reference, here's the same date/variety graded as F12 by NGC (source: Heritage Auctions) Edited by KurtS 12/03/2007 5:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6443 Posts	Posted 12/03/2007 7:41 pm Hi Kurt, Compared to the reference F-12 NGC coin I can see this one as Fine-15 or maybe even VF-20 for detail. However, with the slight porosity visible especially on the obverse and the large rim dings at 12:00 (obverse) and 3:30 (reverse) I don't think this one would slab at NGC or PCGS. I would guess it might net-grade at VG-10 or maybe F-12. It should sell for less than whatever that no-problem NGC coin cost. Just my opinion! Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/03/2007 7:59 pm Thanks for your thoughts...I do agree those dings are worse than nicks on the slabbed example, and I should consider how they affect the overall grade. Report this Post to the Staff
