InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 03/28/2008 9:13 pm Very nice coin j h s . I am not real familiar with the series ..so I will consult my ANA grading book. There seems to be a little detail left in some of the stars and the ear detail is there. Seems a little weak behind the ear, and the eagles wing opposite it on the reverse is also weak. The way I am reading the ANA guide it seems to straddle the F-VF line, taking into account for weakness of strike near the center I would go VF-20. If I have graded to high , I would love to hear the reasons, always wanting to expand my skills to other series. Nice color and a good looking coin ! Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 03/29/2008 09:06 am I think one reason it cant go VF is because the rim is worn down so much. Nearly all VF require a full rim. The reverse, excepting the rim, is in pretty amazing condition. Thanks, you all. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 03/29/2008 5:01 pm The reverse is very nice, I guess from the picture it looks to me like the rim is pretty full. If I were looking for a coin like this, as long as this one does not have bad cleaning scratches (I don't see any) I would probably pay a little more than F money anyway, it seems to be a nice high end example for the grade. If it has cleaning scratches I would be a little more conservative. Greysheet lists it at 70 in F and 90 in VF, not a huge jump...but then the XF jumps to 175. Great looking coin whatever the grade !
