A civil war date minted in San Francisco.
Very difficult to take good pictures of this tiny coin. Hopefully you can work with those.

How would you grade her?

Thanks

I'm not really seeing any marks or rubbing. Either it is AU58 or MS62. Nice coin and a tough year. I still need one.

Looks like there is just a touch of rub on Liberty's head, breast, and right knee. Reverse rims/denticles are a bit weak but that seems entirely due to strike. Color is attractive and surfaces look original with minor contact marks.
Seems very solid for AU-58 but not quite mint state IMO.

Thank you all for your opinions.
You guys are very good, I must say. The ANACS grade is AU55.

Can this grade be considered accurate by current PCGS/NGC standards?
I have read that the old ANACS small white slabs tend to be conservatively graded.

You can always send it in for a crossover.

If it won't cross at the same, or at a higher grade, then they won't bust it out.

(As always, all is contingent on whether there is any hidden damage, too.)

Thank you for the information, westernsky.
I do intend to have some of my collection slabbed at some point- just need to find the time. PCGS are in Paris while NGC is in Münich. Will need to decide with is more convenient for me.

I'm pretty sure you can't cross-over ANACS slabs to NGC or PCGS, unless they changed that rule and I'm not aware of it.

You can definitely cross over ANACS to NGC or PCGS. I did some a few weeks back. I would go PCGS, most bang for your buck. I would it should cross over at AU-55 and maybe go up to the AU-58. Beautiful coin.
