kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 08:55 am I'm with XF as its grade. Nickel-metal coins were giving the Mint fits at that time. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18685 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 09:16 am as stated these coins were difficult to stamp and show weakness somewhere, normally in the shield, leaves and stars. the luster is strong on this coin on both sides. the actual wear from circulation is minimal. I look at the highest points of the relief on these. the rims and beading are strong. I think its in the AU range at least AU53 and maybe 55. my only concern is looking at the rim from the reverse side I'm hoping it wasn't in some type of pendant. look at the rim above STATES Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7055 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 11:45 am @ Panraldi and others...do you feel the issue with the reverse rim could be the effect due to rim fins or Cuds? Report this Post to the Staff
