panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18706 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 6:26 pm somewhat weakly struck. nice reverse. solid eagles neck and shield and talons. I got it at AU53. lets see what others think. these can sometimes be challenge unless you have seen and graded a lot of them. I just look at the highest points that would show wear first Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 7:24 pm AU-50, details, cleaned. Inconsistent reverse strike, particularly near the periphery, makes it slightly harder to grade. Using only technical grade, it is a 50. Report this Post to the Staff

yelimsexa Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 03/04/2016 1:27 pm EF-40 details, old cleaning. Looks similar to my 1833 CBH in terms of the poorly struck stars and the weak 5 in 50C. Report this Post to the Staff
