cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 07/26/2010 05:14 am LOVE that toning! EF-45, perhaps AU-50, although there is weakness in ER so I'm thinking no higher than EF. Again, could just be the pics being subversive. Report this Post to the Staff

If the coin wasn't altered it would probably grade AU-50, but IMO because of the damage it's un-gradeable. Report this Post to the Staff
matt New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 07/26/2010 3:49 pm You guys are good, no doubts there. The worn-off look of the shield lines is a result of my inability to take good pics. I tried again, but without a tripod and not having set up the proper lighting, this is the best I could do. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/26/2010 10:51 pm With the stripes and bars visible on the shield I would say AU-50. Report this Post to the Staff
