Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 07/19/2008 4:06 pm SO how would you guys grade this coin? I know that it is not MS (unless it is a really flat strike). Thanks! Image: USdollar1889obv2.jpg 92.2 KB Image: USdollar1889rev2.jpg 100.24 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Pennypusher Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 07/19/2008 5:53 pm I'll say a solid AU-55. There is a too much detail on the lock of hair above Liberty's ear for EF or even AU50, and you can see the feathers on the eagles breast quite well. -PP Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 07/19/2008 8:40 pm AU50. I would honestly be swayed by the superior reverse, and assume the obverse was a die with greater wear. Remember, they minted a hozillion 1889's - the greatest single number except for 1921-P - and the dies got pushed to the limit to strike so many. Report this Post to the Staff
