Pandesalapi Valued Member Philippines 386 Posts	Posted 05/08/2010 11:38 pm I need your opinion grading with this recently acquired harshly cleaned coin. I don't know if I am correct in thinking that it will fetch VF grade though I would admit I really had a hard time finding this grade for several years, and I am happy having it.

I would say that it has AU details, but the harsh cleaning, scratches, and rim dings probably will take it down to around a net VF-30 grade or so. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 08:06 am I agree detail wise it would grade at AU-55, but because of the cleaning the grade would drop a bit. I'd give it a grade of EF-45 cleaned with some rim damage. Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 11:52 am Thanks for asking for my help! VF-35 or so. Report this Post to the Staff
Pandesalapi Valued Member Philippines 386 Posts	Posted 05/10/2010 5:39 pm Thanks guys. Yes I agree the harshly done cleaning made the coin lessen its appearance and definitely its value as well. Though happy with it, I am still looking for more 1880 date with this VF grade or even higher and hope to find one again in the near future Report this Post to the Staff
