Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 07/08/2009 1:54 pm Yes, there is some minor rim damage, but I don't think it detracts from the grade. As for the coloring - my scanner has seen alot of use over the past five years, and it's getting tired - coin looks better in hand. I was thinking extra fine, but it's always nice to get like opinions from others. Thanks. Ralph Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6416 Posts	Posted 07/08/2009 5:12 pm I'd like to see stronger reverse rim detail for an EF coin. I'd call this strong for VF-30 and very possible for VF-35. EF-40 is just a tad optimistic IMO. Regardless, it is a nice example of this early Seated type and I agree the minor rim marks should not hurt the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/08/2009 9:14 pm I figured that to be a weak strike and it looks like parts are worn differently or something...overall detail definitely looks EF But it definitely looks cleaned, I agree Edited by coinguybrian 07/08/2009 9:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
