Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/24/2020 08:59 am I'll say F details (obverse cut). Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18696 Posts	Posted 04/24/2020 7:32 pm I'm way different in the assessment of this one. the shield is too strong for anything lower than VF35. when assessing the obverse the lettering is missing partial letters in the R and C in America. this is telling my weakly struck as the shield is the highest point on the die. the reverse columns outlines and inset beading are much sharper than a F coin and look to be VF. I'm at VF details (ED) weakly struck. value wise I agree its going to drop quite a bit due to strike and ED Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3663 Posts	Posted 04/24/2020 11:13 pm I agree with @panzaldi, this one is a softly struck VF-35. Really, it isn't that far from an EF-40. I'm not so sure this one gets detailed. Silver treys and fish scales get a bit more leeway on circulation knocks because of their size. The surface conditions are a mixed bag here. Yes, it is ED, but it isn't visually offensive. It has a bit of character. I could see it trading as a VF-35, with a bit of price haggling to offset the surface conditions. The price is in the ballpark. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 2:48 pm Looks more like the coin in seller's pics in hand. Here is the coin in hand under a bright light to see detail better. Nice orange, yellow and green hues that I have had difficulty capturing. Thoughts? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 9:02 pm VF/EF and clearly a details coin. (cuts). The appeal of this coin at $47 is beyond me. Edited by Coinfrog 04/29/2020 9:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
