echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 1:12 pm This is a hard one. The bust looks F-12 while the rest of the obverse is G-6. The reverse looks maybe G-6. Overall grade F-10. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 6:26 pm I also find these coins baffling to grade, due to the way strike issues and die state affect details. Something that caught my eye on this one was amount of the drapery detail in the bust. There's quite a bit of detail there, offset by some porosity and lack of detail on reverse. All together my guess might be net F15--a total guess at that. Report this Post to the Staff

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 12/04/2008 08:18 am Ya Kurt I was pretty impressed as well. I couldn't wait the full two weeks to get it out! The really good thing is that it does not appear to be cleaned! Ya think it is worth slabbing? Report this Post to the Staff
