Coinsteel Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 11:46 am Coinfrog - would you mind telling what you see that keeps the 1853 out of AU territory? Not questioning your grading skills but mine - I have a lot to learn. I love the 1853, it's very lustrous in hand, slightly darker than the photo but more even colored. I decided against the 1849, no point getting a subpar coin even if it's relatively cheap. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18662 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 6:38 pm your 53 is a nice coin. the denticles you note is typical for large cents and the coin has nice eye appeal. I'm at AU55 and I can see it in the $160 range retail the 49 however does not fair as well. the coin is a VF details (ED) coin. if you are not familiar with details designation it used by grading services to denote a coin that will not a defined grade level to as something is wrong with it which most likely occurred post minting. in this case the ED is environmental damage. the coin is scratched up pretty good and has signs of corrosion on the surface which is post mint damage. it still has some value but since its a common coin not a whole lot Report this Post to the Staff
