Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 8:16 pm So I recently bought this coin that was graded by a second tier grader. What do you all think the grade is for this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 10:15 pm I'll say VF-25. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 10:45 pm I'm at VF25 but could see it just making VF30. Looks to be N-3 R3. Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 2:29 pm Ty2020b, what's a good source for die varieties on these coins? I use Grellman for Braided Hair cents, but don't have a source for these older coins. Thnks. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 4:17 pm The Cent Book by John D. Wright is my go-to. Can usually find them for around $100. If you're lucky you can find one with the small supplement pack he wrote up, pointing out a few updates and errors. Worst case if you pick up one and it doesn't come with the supplement I can pm/email it to you. It's just a few extra pages. Edit: just looked it up and Earlycents has a copy on ebay for $95+ shipping. Edited by Ty2020b 07/28/2023 4:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3156 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 10:57 pm going to say vf-30 Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 07/29/2023 10:59 am I'm at VF30. total verdicare candidate. I think she would clean up real nice Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 07/29/2023 12:27 pm Yeah, I'll be cracking this one out and doing an extended acetone soak followed by Verdicare. Will post the ANACS grade tomorrow evening. Just for reference, here's an 1830 VF25 - NGC coin (same die variety) that recently sold at auction. Makes me think mine makes it into VF30 territory, regardless of the ANACS grade. Edited by Blastenpene4 07/29/2023 12:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 7:43 pm So here's the ANACS graded slab... Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 7:58 pm Wow, congrats are in order! Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 8:08 pm Thanks, Coinfrog. Frankly, I think the coin would be lucky to push VF30 hard - VF35 seems somewhat overgraded to me. That said, I made what I considered a reasonable bid and got it. I believe it is an N3/R3, which is a nice plus in my book. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 08/01/2023 3:50 pm the slabbed photo of the obv looks better than the original photos which caused all the assessments to come in at VF25/30. I wouldnt touch it. ANACS probably was a little more generous with this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 08/01/2023 9:05 pm Yes, I've decided to leave well enough alone with this one. Thanks, all. Report this Post to the Staff
