I read two AU58 guesses but no substantiation of the claims


......I said AU58, and said it looked like minor wear on both sides. On the high points, to take it a step further. Just my opinion, no biggie. But I did originally state why I thought so. Just calling it like I see it, as tempting as it is to drink the cool-aid sometimes. It's just a practice forum for grading

Apologies Ed, I should articulate myself better. I was asking what the high point wear was specifically. I am not terribly familiar with this series but I do like it and I am going to be acquiring more and would like to know where to look for wear.

thanks for the input sir

No problemo. I do kind of chuckle within myself though, because I don't like it when I feel a coin of mine is getting beat up in the grading section.....and it has happened often

edweather -

You put yourself through the grinder here, of course.

As in politics, it is always easier to be negative than positive when grading a coin, especially from pics.

Trust your eye, and separate the wheat from the chaff.

This is clearly a MS coin.

I'd rather have people being honest and telling me what I may be overlooking while blinded by "new coin fever." Sure, sometimes you find out you maybe didn't make the best call, but it's valuable knowledge for future purchases. If no one "beats you up", you'll just keep making the same mistakes.

Sometimes I hesitate to say things to people but if I am confident that the knowledge I am sharing is accurate as much as it pains me, I feel it needs to be stated or people will go out and continue to make the same mistakes especially when buying coins in a series you might be unfamiliar with.

I think this is why the CCF is the best forum. It's tough love opinions on occasion but the education you get is worth the few ego bruises.
