jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 12/29/2009 9:34 pm Newest addition to my collection. Any help in grading would be appreciated. I would like to compare with what was marked on the coin by the dealer. I know the grade on the 2x2 was not correct, especially since I bought the coin for less than half of what it was marked. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 12/30/2009 01:17 am I agree with EF-40 in terms of wear. The color looks original and the marks are mostly minor. The most significant to me is the cut through E of LIBERTY but that one is still too small to qualify as "damage". This coin should obviously be priced a bit below the cost of a mark-free example.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 12/30/2009 02:19 am I really dig that coin! Nice and original, and a solid EF in my book. A few marks don't really bother me. Nice purchase! Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 12/30/2009 3:56 pm I would agree with EF-40 and not let the oops on the E bother me. NICE COIN Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 12/30/2009 4:03 pm I'd call it VF-35. The obverse looks better than that but the reverse is a little more worn. It's a nice looking circulated coin. Great addition. Ken My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
