Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1095 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 2:16 pm I think I see a little wear at the high points, I will go AU58 Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 3:45 pm The pics are too dark to get a good read on it but my guess is AU55. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 4:05 pm I'm working on a new camera setup, which is kind of why I posted this test image here. I agree its too dark, I will be adjusting my exposure in the future to lighten it. Though this coin does have a nice tone to it like in this photo. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 6:40 pm Looks AU-58 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 7:41 pm I say it is AU-53. That is a tough one. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 11:01 pm AU-55, but I wouldn't be surprised if PCGS gave it a -53, they don't seem to appreciate toning quite as much as some of us do. What's going on up there between the ES in States and the wreath?

EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 08:31 am paralyse, what you see between the ES and the wreath is a die clash. Clashing is very common on these coins. PCGS gave this AU-58. I'll work on my photography skills some more. Report this Post to the Staff
