Hi all... Need some help grading this coin. First time posting images and I know they're not that good. But any help would be appreciated. Thanks, NHcoinster   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

F15 sharpness with a shot at VF20. Extremely attractive surfaces with high eye appeal, great toning and contrast. It looks like a slightly lighter toned version of my 1800.  to CCF! This will probably get moved to Grading soon. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Thanks for the quick reply paralyse. I'm "very" new to this, and I can see by the depth of the CCF that there's lots to learn. Thanks again.

Stick around -- you won't find a better place for collectors and numismatists out there; we're friendly folks and you will find a great wealth of knowledge on many subjects within the hobby.
Make sure you post an introductory post in the New Member forum if you haven't already done so (2nd from the top when looking at the list of all of the forums!)

I'll get on board with F-15. Color looks good, can't really comment on surfaces with the pics. Looks to be a beauty.

Does not appear to have ever suffered a cleaning, which, by itself, is rare for these early dates. Easy 15 flirting with 20.
Lovely circulation cameo. Really a beautiful coin for that grade.

Thanks jpbone and moxking. Indeed, my grandparents were fanatics about their coins, so trust that they knew the standard do's and don'ts with regard to cleaning.

Nice looking coin from what can be seen. I'd go VF20 assuming there's no problems that are hidden. The reverse looks particularly well struck and the color is good too. |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

VF-20 with any luck, though F-15 would not surprise me. Nice example. to the CCF! |

It looks like it could make VF-20.
