johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/19/2008 11:30 am hmm. I'm not an expert on Barber grading, but I've been looking at a lot of them lately. The obverse looks like Choice AU, while the reverse looks XF; so I'll guess XF/AU. Although a real nice coin, the contrast on the obverse looks funny to me, and the coin is void of toning(not that that necessarily means anything). I would be a little wary about this if you are looking for a problem free coin. Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 05/19/2008 11:37 am I concur with Johnny on this one, AU/XF. I know you are just getting the picture-taking part down, but Johnny's comment on the color of the coin in the pictures is a concern. If it is brighter in-hand and you cannot see cleaning scratches under magnification, it may just be the photos. That obverse should show some mint luster. If it doesn't, it may have seen multiple dippings. Still a beauty! Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 05/19/2008 12:30 pm Is that the right color? Is there any luster? If that's the way the coin looks in hand, I'd say it's an overdipped AU. Report this Post to the Staff
scmoore61 Valued Member United States 487 Posts	Posted 05/23/2008 10:02 am No the color is not right. The coin has good luster and nice tone. I'm waiting on Super Dave to finish with my camera lessons. At least my pictures now look like coins. :) I'm posting another picture that may help. Report this Post to the Staff
