I liked the look of this common, circulated San Francisco coin. What say you? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 06/21/2019 12:07 pm Thanks for the comments. I think this coin has AU-53 sharpness but is a little baggy. There is a fair amount of original luster around the perimeter between letters and stars (just as there should be on an AU gold piece). I like the reddish toning which gives the coin a very attractive original look. I'd call it AU-50 overall, and solid for that grade. Report this Post to the Staff
