Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/31/2018 10:27 pm The plating issues make the eye appeal very low, Mox's scale of 3/10. That said, is a low grade MS, say 60-62RD. Not a top contender in my book, sorry. I do question just where it may have come from, can't tell how much "handling" it may have had, that could knock it out of the MS category to an AU real quick, it becomes a circulated coin.

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 07/31/2018 10:31 pm @crazb0, does the plating look split on the L and I of LIBERTY? If so, I would think that this coin could deteriorate pretty quickly.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 07/31/2018 10:47 pm Spence, yep. The Copper plating has split open, caused by Split Plate Doubling during the strike. http://www.error-ref.com/split-plate-doubling/ As far as grading goes, I can see some minor circulation rub on the bust, on the obverse, and I can see some rub as well on the steps on the reverse. It would probably get the high AU (Almost Uncirculated) grade. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

1982pennyid Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 08/01/2018 12:02 am Thank you to everyone for all the great information and expertise. I found it in an old purse belonging to my mom, while helping to clean out her closet. So I don't know how "quickly" it might deteriorate, since it's been in there for the better part of a decade Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 08/01/2018 12:14 am Being in a coin purse for the last decade or so has somewhat protected it from the elements! Leave it out in the open air for a few weeks and see what happens to it. That being said, I agree with AU as I also se signs of ware as mentioned Report this Post to the Staff
