MeauxSzyslak Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 10:08 am How would you grade? I also wanted to see how the coin looked in different light setups. The first two are with lights directly on the coin and the second two are with just natural light in my apartment with the blinds open. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 10:55 am Most of what I see appears to be luster breaks rather than scratches; that being the case, I don't think 64 is out of the question. Which would make it in the upper level of known grades for VAM-16, if I'm correct in the attribution. Only 3 known in 65, although they're not really rare into MS condition. How strong is the doubling of LIBERTY? http://www.vamworld.com/1878-P+VAM-16 Report this Post to the Staff
MeauxSzyslak Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 11:13 am VAM-16 is what I thought it was as well. Here is the Liberty, am I correct in assuming that would be considered "strong" doubling? Edited by MeauxSzyslak 06/13/2010 11:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

MeauxSzyslak Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 11:51 am I was considering sending this off for a grade. I thought it was undergraded when I bought it and only paid MS-61 money for it. Would you have it graded? Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 12:54 pm I agree I'm not seeing any scratches either, I would say MS-64. Nice doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 07:40 am For a reasonable grading fee, I'd get it graded, if only to protect it from any further environmental/handling compromise. The naturally-lit pictures lead me to an easy 63 with concern about the spot in the obverse east and the spots in the reverse west keeping me from 64. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
