Coin looks to be about EF45 to me, but I can't figure out what the two marks are right at the top of her head. Also note slight damage below ear and between stars 1 & 2. I had to pump up the levels on his pictures, which were really dark. Bid is around $60. Edited by Blastenpene4 08/06/2023 10:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 08/06/2023 10:40 am i like this one Blastenpene4. I wouldnt be worried those small marks. I think it is a little short of 45 though. I have it at a nice XF40. $60 is a decent price at that grade so you cant go wrong if you keep the bid below $70. I expect it will hammer a little higher. let us know. Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 08/06/2023 10:45 am I did some research on PCGS slabbed EF40 and 45 coins. Some of the 40s were surprisingly rough to me. Based on that I'm thinking 45 for this one based on hair curl, ear and LIBERTY, but it's hardly an exact science. Will report if I get it at my price. Report this Post to the Staff
