one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 01/15/2019 12:12 pm Hello. I recently came across this specimen for sale, and I'm strongly considering it. I would greatly appreciate opinions on the following: 1) grade estimates 2) does the scratch on the reverse at the "AM" in "AMERICA" likely effect grading? 3) this coin looks 'original' to me, but if you see something funny, please tell me Thank you!

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 01/15/2019 1:03 pm Yes, I saw your post on this one as well Grape - after I saw this coin for sale. Agree, the seller's ask is a little high, but I may make an offer on it. I trust you have decided not to make an offer - I'd hate to be competing with a fellow CCF'er? Report this Post to the Staff

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 01/15/2019 8:41 pm T-BOP - I'm guessing you fell down laughing over "fsb". Well, to keep the laugh track going, here's the seller's description (note his grade estimate is 7 points higher than yours!): "Nice white lustrous coin. Bands are a little split but not fully. There's a little scuff under the first A in AMERICA on the reverse. My opinion on this one is around MS62." I'm thinking 75% split. This is an excerpt from Breen's big book of US coins: Report this Post to the Staff

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 01/23/2019 3:51 pm Thanks everyone! I agree this coin is choice AU and not MS62 as the seller maintains. Now I just have to bide my time and see if the seller will come down from his asking price of $155 to something more reasonable! Crossing my fingers. Report this Post to the Staff
