XF details, cleaned, reverse damage (a gouge and a scrape), obverse has rim damage. It's still appealing as an exemplar of the variety. I think this is PMD, not a strike through grease.

Solid AU 50. Does not exhibit any hints of cleaning. Grease strike through would need to be noted on a submission.

I don't think the color is right, which is why I thought cleaned; perhaps recolored instead. It is entirely incongruous with the wear; that color isn't usually seen out of MS or AU, even then only rarely, and this coin has no trace of luster.

[quoteI don't think the color is right, which is why I thought cleaned; perhaps recolored instead. It is entirely incongruous with the wear; that color isn't usually seen out of MS or AU, even then only rarely, and this coin has no trace of luster. The coin is not cleaned or retoned. I do the best I can with pics and shoot with a Canon Rebel / 60mm macro and 45 degree(ish) lighting that picks up a lot of detail. The toning looks great and natural when I am looking at my HP but my Mac does give an slightly atificial look (new screen new tone). In hand the toning is good; compares to "Chocolate steel/ reddish chocolate" in the Grading Guide for Early American Copper Coins:) I do wonder if the small area of fresh showing metal near the A of states would keep it out of a holder. I thank all of you for replies and the above is not ment to sway your opinion. Just trying to add context to the coin that the pics may not conveying. |

AU-50. Obverse rim ding may knock it down a bit. Nice die cracks on reverse.

I'll assume it's probably either your pictures or my monitor; a solid XF45.
