Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 07/05/2008 02:44 am Here's a new acquisition, graded by PCGS. These Charlotte coins were often poorly-struck, on planchets that were not always of top quality. I think the major TPGs take this into account and tend to be a bit more forgiving with these coins. What grade do you think PCGS assigned to this little lady? Report this Post to the Staff

tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 07/05/2008 09:32 am I'll say AU55 but only because of your comments. For some reason I don't see this as more than an EF coin though. Report this Post to the Staff

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 07/05/2008 8:10 pm Jaobler, that is a beautiful piece! My grading skills on gold are poor at best, and there is a lot of forgiveness for the C and D mints so.......... I'll guess au-58 to ms60. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 07/07/2008 10:01 pm Tights, your instincts were right on. This is an EF piece, actually "choice" (XF-45) per PCGS. I think a grade of EF-40 would be more appropriate since in-hand the coin seems to have only faint traces of original luster. I would expect more luster on an accurately-graded EF (or XF) 45 coin. I think it's likely the coin was dipped and that impaired the luster a bit, but if so the effect was slight enough that PCGS didn't have a problem with it. Report this Post to the Staff
