numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11892 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 3:28 pm First coin of 2021. $139 minus $69 net $70. Thoughts? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 3:47 pm Sounds about right. IMO high VF or XF-40. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 3:52 pm I'll say EF-40. Always fun to see one of these! Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3649 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 4:28 pm The IDB actually shields some of the central design from wear. Grading more heavily from the reverse, I see this one as EF-45. Gotta love the Princess Leah starter kit variety! You did well on this one. Great start to 2021! Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3160 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 01:53 am i was watching this auction today. Got a bit too high for me to try and buy it for resale. The obverse has some strange splotchy color variations. reverse looked nice except for one spot of verdigris. Sharpness of xf-45 I would say. E-bay bucks bring price down for you?

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11892 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 02:32 am It sure did. I thought this was the nicest of the many coins this seller was liquidating. I also bid on the regular slanted 1855 which had nicer surfaces but a heavy rim ding. That one was just outside my reach. I bid 88 cents less than the winner so I could have git it if I had bid $1 more. This one. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18668 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 08:55 am i would have begged off the second one due to the rim bump. I think it would have detailed (ED) for that Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 09:32 am Knobby I 'd go EF45...on the'55 I would not have bought it. KK Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5672 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 09:42 am I'd say XF-45 on the one you bought, very nice! Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 10:45 am For comparison purposes here's one graded XF-45: Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11892 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 12:31 pm My example looks to have less wear than the NGC graded example imho. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3160 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 12:36 pm saw the other 1855 coin but did not like the rim ding. The coin Kanga showed had a bit more wear especially on reverse but I think the uniform nice brown color is better. Report this Post to the Staff
jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 3:12 pm Would be glad I didn't win the second one. Rim bump makes it details imo. Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 01/03/2021 11:05 am NS...Your knobby is much better than the NGC...but yours is not an AU...the NGC s/b an EF40. Don't believe the slab. KK Report this Post to the Staff
