Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 10:52 pm Confirmed over on the classic variety coins forum. I'm not sure how to grade this one. I'm thinking maybe 45? The hair and axe both seem better defined than the 45 example on Photograde, but this coin doesn't seem AU. The bands and initials are worn, for example. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 08:29 am Looks like it, congrats! I'd say low AU sharpness. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 09:45 am i'd say AU50 but I don't think the obv is strong enough so I'm at XF45 also Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 7:25 pm Thanks for the help, guys! =) Any thoughts on that long scratch under the T of Liberty? Is that par for the course at this level of circulation, or would that kick it into Details grade? Not saying I would grade this particular coin, I just want to improve my knowledge.
