atlashealth Pillar of the Community United States 1691 Posts	Posted 08/14/2009 6:01 pm guess the grade of this recent purchase on the CCF site... pics are not great...I used my scanner..the details are very strong (very little wear,the date is sharp)and there are fine hairlines from cleaning and a couple of carbon spots Edited by atlashealth 08/14/2009 6:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 08/14/2009 10:58 pm At least AU55, perhaps higher... Nice! Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 08/14/2009 11:03 pm If authentic, AU-ish details possibly cleaned. I believe it to be real, but it's impossible to tell for sure from those pictures. If fake, it is likely a high quality transfer die fake; and those are very difficult to tell unless you are an expert. Edited by johnny54321 08/14/2009 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
atlashealth Pillar of the Community United States 1691 Posts	Posted 08/15/2009 12:12 pm You guys were correct...NCS authenticated...AU details with heavy cleaning(lots of hairlines not seen in my scans). I picked this up from poconopete(CCF member) for my type set...affordable and attractive. Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 12/02/2009 09:02 am Deffenitly AU detailes but like my pics the scanner just dosen't do the coin justice. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 12/02/2009 5:52 pm I think any cleaning on the Trade dollars really shows up. Those large open flat fields in this design (particularly on the obverse) are ripe for destruction! Report this Post to the Staff
atlashealth Pillar of the Community United States 1691 Posts	Posted 12/02/2009 10:03 pm For $85 I'd rather have a UNC detailed coin with hairlines than a problem free coin with little or no detail showing.. this coin fits my budget and objective of a type set that shows VF or better details Report this Post to the Staff
