This is a weakly struck coin. Judging by the detail in the eagle's feathers, I'd put this at F-12.

...weakly struck coin In general, do weak strikes occur equally on both sides of a coin? If not, what is the determining factor(s)? |

I'd probably call it a VG-8, the obv die is in a later die state (stars are being drawn out to the rims), the reverse does not appear to be so That could explain the weakness of the obv. Dies may also be slightly out of parallel which would explain denticles on one edge of the coin on both sides but not the other.

I guess I'm the only one. VG something, improperly cleaned, detailed.

 FWIW USSID, this coin was bought of GC and these are their images. GC is known for overlighting their coins, giving natural looking worn coins an unnatural bright appearance. This coin is clearly original and uncleaned in hand, but I know the pictures are deceiving. If you look at my SLQ Guess The Grade, you'll notice the same look on that coin. |
