Ham1947 Pillar of the Community United States 1298 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 11:49 am Looking at this 3cent silver coin to purchase. What would you grade and value this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 12:27 pm Again very attractive. The ends of the reverse moon seem to be missing the protruding fins that accompany mint state examples of this issue. I will say 55-58 again on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

For example, you have two broken lines around the star on the obverse. Is that from circulation, or weak strike. The only way to know for sure is examine the luster liquidity as it flows when the coin is tilted. That's something we can't do with those photos. I'd still guess 58. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 5:21 pm I'll take a pass - pics just not sharp enough to grade from. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 6:16 pm XF40 Definitely potato quality photos... but The reverse is filled in enought for me to discount strike. Touch of wear on the diamond. There is wear on the star at the lines at K8, K10 and K12 plus the center of the shield lines. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
