oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 9:01 pm How about one of the "other denominations"? Here is a recent purchase and would like to see what the CCF Members had to say about her in comparison to PCGS. Thank you for your interest and comments!

cjweber Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 08:52 am I think it looks like a good example of an AU55 Report this Post to the Staff
billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 09:12 am I'm thinking AU-58 at least. It does have a tiny rub, but it might be one of those coins that found it's way into an MS-62 holder. The trouble is when you have a huge picture like this, it makes every mark look more important than it is. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 09:25 am A tough one to grade from photos only, especially considering the rather monochromatic coloration. In addition to center devices the slightly raised edge on the 3CS are the first to show circulation rub. I'm only seeing the very smallest incremental hints of handling at the obverse center and reverse edge. This is either an AU-58, or an MS-64. Usually luster could be used to determine which it actually is, but these photos simply don't show that deciding element. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 6:48 pm AU-58, are the obverse scratches on the coin or the holder? Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 9:38 pm No scratches on the holder since it was reholdered and TrueViewed, although there are several die cracks; Nice job guys! Edited by oih82w8 03/14/2016 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 10:44 pm Gorgeous 3CS! I love these with toning in AU -- I have an 1861 same sort of toning, also 58.
