Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 2:15 pm Don't think I see any ED here, but agree the rim issue would probably detail it. Report this Post to the Staff

KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 11:42 am how much should a details grade detract from AU55? 50%? Report this Post to the Staff

I think more rare coins would command more even with a details designation. looking at this coin again I'm seeing some deep striations running from the brow through the eye and cheek down to the chin. I'm thinking this coin was possibly cleaned or wiped with something to cause these. adding this with the rim issue. I'm a pass but that's your call. a nice clean example without any issues in mid AU would be in the $600-800 range. if you twisted my arm and forced me to buy it I wouldn't pay more than VF money for it Report this Post to the Staff
