Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/01/2008 5:07 pm I love these coins! I bought this one on ebay, in an SEGS slab. I sent it to PCGS and specified I would accept a grade one notch lower than the SEGS grade and that is how they slabbed it. Care to stick your neck out with a grade opinion?

jbakic Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 04/01/2008 5:54 pm I don't see much luster in the pictures, and there appears to be wear on the breast, leg and eagles breast. I would say EF-40 to EF-45 range. Overall a very nice coin I wouldn't mind having. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 04/01/2008 9:28 pm I think the luster is there to justify an AU grade. Probably AU53-55 Report this Post to the Staff
Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 05:25 am I'm going to say AU-50. I think the lighting on your photo is washing out some of the reverse details so there may be more than we are seeing. Report this Post to the Staff

50cents Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 5:43 pm 45 or 50, I can't really tell. Very nice! Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 6:46 pm Pretty close, people! Originally in an SEGS AU-50 slab, PCGS was very strict but not unreasonable to call it XF-45. This result supports my working theory that in general PCGS will grade SEGS and PCI coins 1 notch lower than the assigned grades, IF they will grade them at all. Any decent-looking SEGS or PCI coin seems to have a 50/50 chance of being body-bagged. I suspect PCGS randomly cycles between "cleaned", "questionable color", and "altered surfaces" when stating the reason for rejecting a coin. But then, I'm suspicious by nature.
