BadDog Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 09:20 am Picked this one up a couple of weeks ago. I've no issues with what it's graded as, but thought others might want to take a shot at grading it from photos. I'm guessing that this one will be pretty easy for most folks Report this Post to the Staff

Is it because they wear so unevenly? Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 03/26/2019 1:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 2:14 pm Somewhat,also that nobody agrees on them. The grade is based on a few obverse points and reverse points. Not a lot of the buffalo design disappears with wear. We judge grade by lack of detail, when the detail doesn't really disappear it becomes harder Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 2:50 pm I can't see it as XF BUT Since the horn tip is visible I'll go high VF. Report this Post to the Staff
BadDog Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 3:32 pm Quote: I'm guessing that this one will be pretty easy for most folks Hmmm, apparently I was wrong about this So far, the grades are ranging from VF35 to AU55. A 6 grade spread isn't as tight as I thought it would be I will say that the PCGS/CAC grade is one of the grades in that 6 grade range though. I'll post it tomorrow Report this Post to the Staff
