Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/24/2006 12:40 pm The coin looks to me to be very close to UNC details to me. Im a little concerned about the dark areas ! If these areas have corrosion or pitting , then the grade would be significantly reduced. Rick Report this Post to the Staff

CommonCents New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 01/24/2006 4:42 pm Its very hard to tell from the pictures. It looks like it could have AU to UNC details, but it seems to have a granular surface to include some pitting. This may reduce the grade to a net VF or less. Just a humble opinion..

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 01/25/2006 09:11 am It looks to have AU details to me. There is a small area on the shield that shows very light wear and some of the leaves on the reverse show very light wear on the highest points. Most of the stars show nice definition, though these coins are known for lack of detail in the stars even on some UNC examples. The roughened surface would lower the net grade however. My opinion is net EF40. Report this Post to the Staff
