DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 9:01 pm I was able to get this graded for $9 on a piggyback.....so I did it. It came back almost as expected on my end....a little disappointed....but I just wanted it slabbed and it had the rim toning I liked....1881 is my favorite year for coins...OK Corral.....assassination attempt and eventual death of then President James Garfield...albeit months later. Let me know what you think and leave a grade. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 9:07 pm Tough coin, but I'm just guessing that it you were disappointed - AU-58? Edited by Coinfrog 04/19/2021 12:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 9:21 pm I do need the proof for my incomplete 1881 set westernsky....I had one...but I got rid of it...It wasn't a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 9:30 pm Hmmm, AU55 is my first impression, but guessing AU58 is more accurate . Surfaces look pretty dull. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7036 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 9:44 pm Since I'm relatively new to coin collecting (> 10 yrs.) and can say I've never handled a MS let alone an AU coin in this series....watch and learn...SO i"ll go along with AU-58 Looks like a real beauty from here Report this Post to the Staff
psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1773 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 11:17 pm AU-55. Seems dull and marks in the field in front of her knees. Wondering if it was details and that is the disappointment. Report this Post to the Staff

DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 04/20/2021 10:07 am I was disappointed it received XF-detail instead AU-detail. Edited by DoctorBurnzy 04/20/2021 10:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 04/20/2021 10:29 am Was on the fence about the old cleaning being market acceptable, but XF certainly seems harsh. Report this Post to the Staff
