SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/21/2009 6:33 pm I was perusing my local coin dealer's wares, and the strong strike of this one kinda caught my eye. Price wasn't bad, either. Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/21/2009 7:13 pm I'm going to say EF-40, wear on the neck and breast of the eagle. Still a very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

The definition on the tailfeathers made up for it, and now I have an upgrade target for my 7070. Is the "doubling" on the reverse MD, a design feature, or what? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 03/22/2009 11:40 am Here is my XF40 for comparison. PCGS graded it XF40. Super's coin has a great strike. Most 1858's I have seen are soft. It is a nice coin swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 03/22/2009 8:15 pm Another vote for EF-45 details. If I believed in net-grading, I'd go EF-40 because of the marks. Report this Post to the Staff
