sickpuppy78501 Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 08:43 am What grade would you give this? Is the obverse rim bump enough to detail this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 09:00 am F12. It's a pretty decent bump up top and I doubt it would straight grade at a TPG, but it's not a bad coin otherwise.

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3163 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 09:14 am F-12 to F-15. The rim bump is most likely too big to straight grade. Nice coin otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 09:58 am I'll say VF-20, but agree it's likely a details coin. Edited by Coinfrog 03/09/2024 4:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 11:38 am You guys are tough! I'm thinking VF20 along with CF. Details with the rim hit. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 11:51 am I'd rather buy a raw coin at a lower grade estimate and risk being pleasantly surprised than buy a raw coin at a higher grade estimate and risk being unhappily disappointed. It is simply a matter of risk tolerance. Therefore, I tend to grade conservatively, since I'm risk-averse when it comes to purchasing raw coins.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36839 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 2:19 pm VF-25 details, rim bump. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 2:59 pm sickpuppy78501, LC's can be challenging due to strike issues especially around the ear and lower curl. I might be convinced to push this one to VF20. I don't think there is enough there to make 25 though. folks on CCM can be brutal on LC's and 1/2C's. Report this Post to the Staff
