Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 12/22/2020 1:05 pm I'm surprised a genuine 1861 has a fat arm like that but the hand holding the rod seems a bit off. Otherwise I'll go with XF40 Report this Post to the Staff

Nope - just throwing it out there for people that have a higher knowledge to verify one way or the other. I'm sure you wouldn't want to buy a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 12/22/2020 7:59 pm EF-45. The reverse is better than the obverse. The squiggle is a contact mark. There are several contact marks on the shield and Liberty's right leg. The surfaces look original. It doesn't look like the overdate, but it's a solid example for the grade, as long as the price is reasonable (in the $40s would be spot on). Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18670 Posts	Posted 12/23/2020 10:56 am i think this one is legit. XF45. there are some noticeable digs on the upper part of the shield as well as the thigh area above that we well as the right knee and the bottom of the dress near the shield near the Y in LIBERTY. I dont think the coin would grade straight Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5191 Posts	Posted 12/23/2020 11:06 am The seller wants AU money for it, which I think is a little too high. I'll wait and see... Well, someone bought it today. Edited by NumisEd 12/23/2020 1:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
