KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/11/2008 01:29 am LL/LD? I really like the strike on the effigy. I balk at giving a grade because photos don't show everything, and I'm not familiar enough with this portrait. So if I'm seeing slight wear on the hair and leaves, I might guess AU55-58--and expect to be corrected. Report this Post to the Staff
snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 06/11/2008 09:12 am hmm. ok, I was leaning towards MS 61 - 62 But now Ive heard two people day AU. Sure is a nice cie crack on the obverse eh? yes, LL LD is correct Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/12/2008 12:44 am It's a beautiful coin, and the DC is nice. You would know best if there's wear; grading from photos is a tough call. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/12/2008 3:32 pm Thanks for the welcome! Yes--those large cents look very nice with some red toning. Based on comments at CT, I'll say AU58--it's a great strike. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 06/15/2008 10:19 pm Kurt knows better than I do, but I see no reason this can't get an MS grade. There are tiny wear spots on the front of the crown and tips of a couple of the leaves. Still, these are very slight. Personally, I would pass them off as contact marks rather than circulation wear. The partial luster makes it a stronger case for MS =) Report this Post to the Staff
snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 06/15/2008 10:43 pm thats what I think too. Its priced at an AU price. and the difference from AU to MS is definitely worth the investment, So I'm still deciding if its worth it Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/15/2008 11:25 pm I don't collect this series, so I'm just guessing here! Whatever the "exact grade", it's a very nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
