Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 10:18 pm Picked up a handful of Lg Cents this weekend at our local coin show. This was one. Kind of a fun piece. 1855 N-8 R2, Ex Superior Galleries and more "recently" Ex Walter Dudgeon piece. Included a snippet from the Walter Dudgeon middle and late date large cent sale via McCawley and Grellman from 1994. Grading thoughts on this one? Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 12:45 am I'd agree with both grades as posted in the listing, TPG AU55 (AU58 wouldn't be hard to get to) or EAC 50 full grade The scratch is very minor and doesn't really detract from the overall amazing appearance of the coin. Another very lovely pickup, and congrats on this one too!

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 08:50 am i have to agree on the assigned grade of AU55 as well. just short of the 58 mark. I think if it had some luster peaking through it have helped push it. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 10:55 am EAC grading is a whole different world. But as I understand it, value is largely based on ANA grading. Problem is that ANA grading only takes into account the date and a particularly scarce or rare varieties. The EAC people refine that, hence they can pick up bargains that we ordinary collectors do know about. Report this Post to the Staff
