Latest cherry-pick and will be off to PCGS at some point soon. I think a VF-35 is quite fitting for this coin although an EF-40 would not surprise me. Can't see this any lower than a 30, what do you all think? This variety always comes weakly struck so grading can sometimes be difficult, especially with getting a good grade from a TPG. Thank you! -CH27 Variety forum post: http://goccf.com/t/438871  Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

Agree with your analysis - I could see a grader shooting low on this pretty easily.

Nice little cherrypick! 7 over 8 easy to see, I think at least a VF30, I worry it could get a details call for very light corrosion or surface issues.

i think this one comes down to how they look at the weak strike on both sides. the date, wings and body look VF35.

Very nice score! Might squeeze an XF40 on this one!

I agree with at least VF-30. All the markers are there, the broken wing, the die chip above the 8 and 5 and the visible details of the 7 beneath the 8. A superb cherrypick! Congrats!

That is a very nice example. Congratulations on your find.
I have been hoping to find one of these for ages here in EU, but no luck so far.

Thanks all! Can't see this being a details coin but with PCGS I'm not counting anything out. Thanks for all opinions! Should have this submitted by February and of course I'll update whenever I have it back.

What do you think about sending it off to Rick Snow and having him submit it?
For some reason I always think that the heavy hitters get a little bit more attention...even though the graders don't know who is submitting this coin ; )~

Thanks again all!
Smat, I did consider that option but I'm actually likely going to be dropping by it by the PCGS office in person since I live in the area. Someday may get it eagle eye photo sealed too, but for now just a slab. Hopefully I'll pull a good grade/attribution either way!
Thanks!
