darcyrmt Valued Member Canada 202 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 02:33 am I've heard of overgrading coins to be hopeful, and even undergrading to be conservative - but this seems really out. This one was marked VF on the flip! Am I right in grading at least XF, if not EF? Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 02:38 am I'm not sure about grade, but it looks like it may have been dipped. The "lustre" is really flat in those pics.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3667 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 9:52 pm Tossup between VF-35 and EF-40, very possibly details (cleaned). The crown bands are complete, but flattened, suggesting EF-40. The ribbon, hair, eyebrow, and moustache, suggest VF-35. The fields are really nice for a fish scale. All in all, nice coin.

TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 11:02 pm Held to Vf30 at best due to the scratch on George's head. Report this Post to the Staff
harriscm New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 08/08/2019 02:43 am Personally I think It would be generous to call this a 40. IMO this is a tricky one though: certain areas look EF but other high points have wear indicative of a 20-30. Report this Post to the Staff
