My wife picked this up for my birthday since it was one of my holes in my 7070. Really happy to get a nice example with the "WE" intact. Give me your thoughs on the grade. Sorry if the pics are not the best, I am still learning this photography thing...   |

I'd go EF45 on this one but I'd have to see better pictures to be able to comment on the originality of the surfaces.

I played a little with the images.. Is this closer to reality? If so Would go somewhere between VF35 and EF40 details Cleaned and slight corrosion.   |

nohope587, those do look better. Thanks for your input. So you think this might have been a dug coin which was cleaned?

I am guessing its a dug coin. Would need better pictures or it in hand to be sure. Either way any time you find a 2 C with a full wee its a good thing. They were heavily used and most survivors are lower grade examples. I would say close to 70% of my collection is below F

Nice EF-40 with some corrosion but great detail.
You're right, there are not too many with nice "WE's"!

I agree with trdhrdr007's EF45 grade. This piece has a lot of meat on it!

AU 50 with a need for better pics. I see what might be the corrosion, but it's hard to tell. You need to be congratulated on the fact that your wife knew to buy you such a gift. Woo hoo! She done good!!

Guys look at the D it has a full serif which means this coin is from fairly early in the production run. Strike Should be proportionally better than the later coins. I am fairly certain it would not make 45 or 50. MS61 ICG  AU50 ANACS  ANACS EF40  ANACS VF25 Details  |
