Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 09:14 am I would appreciate some opinions as to a grade for this one. Found CRH. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 09:21 am Too much glare to see surface color and detail clearly. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18663 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 09:24 am too much glare from lighting to determine originality of surfaces. from a grade standpoint the reverse appears to be AU but the obverse looks more like a VF coin. better photos would help narrow this down. do not use a flash or any overhead lighting Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 11:12 am I think it was struck from a worn obverse die. I'll say AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19152 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 12:29 pm I'm thinking AU55--given the posted pics. Nice album hole filler until better comes along. Report this Post to the Staff

Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 5:52 pm Thanks for your replies. That is a pretty worn out obverse die for sure. Not to bad for a CRH . Report this Post to the Staff
