I actually received this coin in a low grade bulk lot of Indian cents. When I first saw it, I could not believe that it had a full strong liberty! (Though it may not show well in the photos, "liberty" is very strong. Unfortunately, this coin is not near perfect and I was wondering what a rough grade for this could possibly be? Thanks in advance! (Also please excuse the stupid name, all my ideas were taken, so I replaced PF with Ms)   *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

Thanks for the quick reply! Out kf curiosity, is it possible that this coin COULD hit AU50? Or is that too far.

Looks to me like the reverse of that coin has been lacquered  |

The obverse is AU 50, the 3.5 diamonds and full feather details really pull me to AU50. Now the reverse is tough, you have something that looks like environmental damage between 2 and 4 o clock. The reverse just looks like a VF 25/30. Too much wear on the wreath and the arrows. So what is the grade? I'll go net XF 40 and if there is corrosion on the reverse XF40 details ED.

First, My first reaction was high VF. @keith12, Could it be glue on the reverse? Perhaps glued into a coin board or folder? |

Wow... we aren't much help on this coin CCF. VF-AU? No way this coin comes close to AU. Only on great day would this coin make EF IMO. I'll put it at VF-35 cleaned.

I'm at VF30 on this one, a good soak in pure acetone may improve the coin by removing the gunk on the reverse without changing the color. If it's indeed a lacquer then acetone will eat it away safely. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
