nilgandi New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 12:14 pm I got this coin back from ANACS, but I was expecting the grade to be higher like au-53. Also I do not know what damage they are referring to for this coin and I do not think this coin was recolored. Also full Liberty is visible and so is the lines on the feathers and the diamonds are lightly visible. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 3:32 pm , it looks more AU than EF. As for the recoloring, though, I think they got that right. The spotchy blotchy tone over bright is an indication of a poorly accomplished recolor. Report this Post to the Staff
Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1094 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 3:41 pm I have found that ANACS tends to lower the grade on details coins. For instance this one might be AU50 but since it was supposedly re-colored they lowered it to EX 45 details. Anyone else have this same thought? Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 9:22 pm ANACS, when they're "on", usually grades very strictly. Problem is, sometimes they're more "off" than "on" these days. I'm not sure there would be any value in crack and resubmit with NGC, for instance, the coin is not so expensive as to warrant the cost for a 5 point grade increase, being a details coin.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 9:57 pm I agree with paralyse. There is nothing to be gained by resubmitting for a possible numerical grade increase on a details coin and it is clearly details. Report this Post to the Staff
nilgandi New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 3:07 pm Thank you for your input I am not sure if I am going to try to submit to NGC. I got this coin from an estate sale in a bag with other coins for $10 so I am not overly dissapointed with this grade. Does having details increase the value of this coin?
