Posting a few that I just sent off to PCGS, will post the results when they are posted. What do you think it will get?

Nice even patina fields, with cameo wear highlights in the center of the coin.
EF-45.

I think it just makes AU-50, very attractive. It's an O-119 if you're interested.

I'm at EF-45, choice for grade, but 50 would not surprise.

This nice one looks like an XF-45 thereabouts, and just a bit nicer than my 1831

I say Choice XF45. For low AU you would expect tons of hits/bagmarks.

One of my classic future EF-48 (AU slider) coins. PCGS will drop-grade it to EF-45, but it has more luster than a 45 should have. The weak strike probably denies a higher grade from PCGS. Nice old survivor coin.

with fortcollins an EF48 is perfect for this coin! It's an EF45 all day long I think in real world market grading, but it's on the cusp of a nice AU also. Always err on the lower side if you are the grading company risking the money guarantee.

I'll say it makes AU-50.

i think the reverse holds it to a really nice XF45. looks like later die state and lot of polishing on the drape around the breast and motto area. if I was grading it just by the obverse I would call it AU53

If I may ask, doesn't matter because I am. Why is it missing all that detail at 11K ? Weak strike or something else?

Late die state.
Look how the stars reach out to the rim.

Most likely a bit of a weak strike.
Notice the missing details are opposite Liberty's bust which "used up" a lot of the metal in that area.

Looks like we're all in about the same boat. First glance I thought XF45 then started to lean towards 50. I'll post results when they're in, have a feeling PCGS will say 45.
