QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 02/08/2021 8:58 pm Posted this in the Classic errors and varieties forum, but I want to see what you guys think it'll grade at. I'm thinking XF-40 to XF-45. Has 3 strong diamonds, and pretty strong feathers. Edited by QuarterHoarder72 02/08/2021 8:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 02/08/2021 9:08 pm XF40/45 sounds right. Leaning slightly more towards XF45. Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 02/08/2021 9:18 pm Thanks! I'm thinking 45 too, in hand it almost has a fourth feather but I think a small hit took it away. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 08:52 am The most important feature is the "thing" sticking out of the front of the neck. That's a mis-punched "1". If I read my Snow correctly, it's an S-1 variety. Quite scarce. That coin is definitely a STRONG candidate for authentication by PCGS or NGC. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18663 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 09:08 am I'm in the XF45 box. the overall look and sharpness is better than a 40 Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5182 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 09:23 am My first thought was XF as well. The reverse seems weakly struck? Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 11:03 am Reverse seem well struck to me, but I'm no expert in any right. Thanks for all the responses! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 7:01 pm I'll say EF-45, great example of this tough variety. Report this Post to the Staff
