Hi,

I was going through my 'collection' and picked out a few coins which I was having a hard time grading. Could you guys help me out and tell me what you think the grade is and the value of the coin? These are the best pics I could provide.

This coin is too shiny So I suspect it has been cleaned...thoughts?

Thank you for your help

Cleaned I believe but I say F 12 based on feathers and hair. "Liberty" is a little weak but thats not the only detail that matters.

I agree it's been cleaned and as such should only be worth maybe 2/3 the price of an original example.
Gradewise I'd be more generous and give it a F-15. I've seen VF-graded coins with similar levels of detail.

Thank you Jaobler, for answering my question! Does that fraction go up the higher the grade of the coin? In other words, if there's a coin that grades AU but has been cleaned, and thus lacks its original luster, does that make it worth 1/2 as much (or less even)? or does is stay at 2/3rds? And should this be its own thread...?

I'm on the conservative side on this one. VG-10 cleaned.
