farrider11 Pillar of the Community United States 614 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 6:53 pm There in is the problem. They need to come up with a way to scan a coin with a computer and give you a baseline. Then bring in the human component. That would put a lot of rip off artists out of business. PCGS has one I believe, but I mean for the average collector. Ty is gone, as was noted, so it's AU I would think. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 8:02 pm Some flatness on high points of leaves, a few obvious dings and scratches seen under the patina, I suspect that there are other much smaller ones that cannot be seen due to the patina. All wear, dings and scratches and remaining luster now patinated over. (obv.) Same comments for reverse, small flat areas on top of Eagle's head and the high points of the feathers. Bars on RH side of shield starting to fuse together. Examining it (1)on screen (2)under plastic, and (3)with patina probably hiding some of the hairline scratches, makes it somewhat tougher to grade. A TPGrader does not have to contend with the first two difficulties. Nevertheless, quite a pleasing coin. Au55. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 9:28 pm AU62, seriously barbers a weird. This is an easy AU-58 to MS-62 Slider. Barbers are up there with the harder to grade series. Report this Post to the Staff
acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 10:25 pm Tough. TOUGH! The shadows around all of the devices, leads me to believe this is an AU coin. Almost puts me in the AU58 camp, but sticking to AU55. Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff
