Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 4:03 pm Hello everyone. I stopped by one of my LCSs and bought this on an impulse buy. I liked the price but I have no idea on how to grade these other than using photograde. Seller stated it was AU. Any help with grade or comments would be greatly appreciated. 1864 L.M.

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 4:48 pm The details look like they could be AU, but just can't quite get a handle on the surfaces. Is it that bright in hand? The TRUST area on the banner looks like there might be some corrosion, but will reserve judgement for now. Report this Post to the Staff

Wizzy1 Valued Member United States 430 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 5:13 pm I thought grading this coin it's all about the "WE" in the obverse banner. I got it at VF-35, but it looks like I'm a minority opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 06/01/2015 03:48 am I'd call this one AU details environmental damage, looks like a light porosity or corrosion on the surface. Though it could also be just the lighting in the photo. Pretty sure this is a Leone 11K die marriage, is the coin rotated on the reverse at all? Check the date with some magnification, if it is should also be a very minor re-punching on the bottom of the 4. And possibly a bit of a top serif on the 1 way higher than the visible 1.
