I would like to post a few of my EAC coins to gather your grading opinions. It will be interesting for me to see how they compare with my own estimations of the EAC grade. The first one will be this 1800 Draped Bust, Sheldon 205. Nice example with smooth surfaces and pretty, even chocolate color. Thank you in advance for your grading opinions.  |

XF-40 for me, but that's not EAC grading. Great coin!

Thanks everybody for your thoughts. I think we are all pretty much in agreement with the grade here.
I personally think that VF30 is possibly a bit of a stretch, but will assign this grade to this coin because of the exceptional surfaces, color, and eye appeal. Better and more vibrant in-hand than the photos convey.
Thank you all!

EF40 and EAC Grade of VF30/VF25+ net VF30
EDIT: After I wrote up the little post on the next page about the EAC Grading Guide and the other S-205 I am revising my EAC grade up 5 points to VF35+
VF35/VF30+ NET VF35 with original surfaces, no signs of common corrosion or pitting, an excellent example of this Sheldon variety.
