You can count on this grade to be a pure guestimate. I think larger pics would be alot better. What are the green spots on the coin? Looks AU50 Could be better I think with bigger pics? All All I can say is that she is dreamy. I love the tone on it. gots that crusty look.   Sure is a sweetie. Congrats on that baby. |

I'm seeing some wear on both arms, breast and down the center of the skirt on the obverse. On the reverse I see some light wear on the chest feathers and down the left leg. I'd grade this as EF-40. Very nice first year of the series.

I'm splitting the difference with XF45.  I also see what appears to be PVC  on both the obverse and reverse (dark green spots). If it is you need to get that in an acetone bath pronto. |

Based on the formal listed grading parameters for this particular coin, it's all about skirt lines. The pics are too small and skirt lines not evident so it's a VG8, if you can magnify pic and show clear skirt lines, then you've got a higher grade of F12-Fine  |

Based on the formal listed grading parameters for this particular coin, it's all about skirt lines. I think the skirt line requirements are relaxed for the earlier dates in the series. Even Unc examples of the early dates can have faint or absent lines. I think this coin is strong for EF-45 and possible for AU-50. I also would use acetone on it, just to make sure it is free of PVC contamination. FYI, here is my ANACS-graded AU-58 1917-S (reverse MM) Walker. My coin has a similar dark tone. The skirt lines are incomplete, although there is only light wear on the design high points and abundant luster shows through the toning.   |

Hi Johnny and Jaobler, thanks your inputs, much appreciated, was trying my newbie hand in grading, so I depended and referenced on the "coin facts" navigation key on this forum for this particular coin. There's a grading guide there when the year of this coin is opened. Yes, I agree, it's an EF45 going to AU-50, Thanks! |
