Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 07/28/2006 10:30 pm I'll go with AU-50 due to the luster that still looks present. Is a nice looking coin. These are the types of coins I wish they would make today. Nice simple design but still has an artistic appeal to it. The State Quarters are ok but are getting a little predictable. The journey westward nickel series was a refreshing change for a couple years. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 07/29/2006 03:47 am Hi Shatsi This coin may have been a little weakly struck ,,but wear has over taken any lack of detail which may have been from that cause. I agree with Susan EF-40 perhaps 45 Depending on the weight given to the reverse by the TPG. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
shatsi Pillar of the Community United States 1541 Posts	Posted 07/29/2006 7:56 pm Yes, its graded EF40 by ANACS. I bought it from a Heritage auction, paid a little more than I was planning to but most of the 3 cents I've come across does not have even color like this one, so I relly wanted this one.

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 07/29/2006 10:48 pm Hi Shatsi Its a very nice looking coin,, and I agree that it is very nicely even colored ,, Sometimes when I look at coins I will determine that its appearance is worth a feww extra Bucks above the grade.

shatsi Pillar of the Community United States 1541 Posts	Posted 07/30/2006 12:51 pm I need to remove it from the slab, any tips? Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 07/30/2006 1:27 pm Hi Shatsi The few slabs that I have cracked for coins,I used a dremel tool and cut the slab to allow access. I have since passed on slabbed coins for my Raw collection and no longer buy them. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
