1909 LWC For Grading

I'm not very good at grading yet, but I do want to say that is a nicely struck coin!

Gosh I agree and that's one killer gem jokingjoker! I hope you're not finding these in rolls because if you are I'm going to look you up and move me and my entire family out there!

I generally like to get off the bus on these once I can tell they hit that plateau because I start feeling a little light in the head way up there. But, I'll say this much, that is one impressive strike, too, and that's very lovely color!

I don't envy your position. If I had to put it in words, I think I'd borrow from Dante: "Between two foods, equally distant and attractive, a man free to choose would die of hunger before he brought one to his teeth." Only thing I might suggest is, why don't you send one or two of these off as test pieces to one of the major TPGs? Reason I say is, most of us, here, I'd assume, are basically "technical grading," while, if you're thinking of going to the market on any of these anytime soon, the TPGs, I'd think, would be more competent at giving you those "market grades." I know that's an added expense, though. Another place you might look would be at the major auction houses and try to photo-grade against those market grades.

Hey, not trying to make this task more challenging for you, and I hope I'm not coming off like that. Look, good luck!
