Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 3:31 pm If anyone wants grading practice on Seated Liberty coins, here is my 1860-S coin, slabbed by PCGS. This was the final year of the Variety 2 Seated dime, with the "stars on obverse" design. Only San Francisco made this type in 1860; Philadelphia and New Orleans had already switched to the legend obverse design. Any estimates on the grade? Report this Post to the Staff

TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 3:49 pm I will take a stab and say EF40.Looks to be wear on high points and on Miss Liberty's hair and arm and on the bow and lower leafs on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 3:49 pm I am not very familiar with this series..but I'll take a crack at it. It looks like most all details are there, obverse and reverse, but they are a little flat. This is a tough one...If I go with strike weakness- I'll give the coin an MS-63...If I go with a little circulation rub- AU-55. Hmmmm...I'll go with rub...AU-55 it is. Now, If I could get the coin in-hand..... Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 5:49 pm It looks EF-40 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 05/16/2008 11:57 pm Oh yeah, the grade! I think PCGS was strict but fair; a solid choice VF. I'll take it! Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/17/2008 7:06 pm I'd say EF-45, maybe AU 50. Not more than 50 though. VF 30 is quite undergraded. Report this Post to the Staff
t5j6p9 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 06/26/2008 1:33 pm to me it looks like it would lie somewhere in between EF40 and AU50 Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 06/26/2008 3:41 pm If the spread from 30 to 45-50 is significant, I suggest sending it in for reslabbing. Great upgrade candidate! Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 06/26/2008 6:17 pm 40 (optimistically a 45) Report this Post to the Staff
