CoinMeister Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 12:26 pm I think this is an Unc, but it does show some wear, which I guess would mean it is not Unc. In any case, what would the grade be? Edited by CoinMeister 09/28/2010 1:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 2:56 pm It does look like a lightly circulated piece. I'd guess AU55. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 3:18 pm I agree it has been in circulation for a short period, I would grade it at AU-53. Report this Post to the Staff
sgtbigred Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 10:28 pm While it is nice and shiny, I am afraid her complexion is indicative of circulation. They may be bag marks as many were transported in bags or even just thrown into chests. While the wear of the coin is slight, I still think she passed through a few hands in a saloon at one time.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 3:13 pm OH NO! Please say it ain't so! Miss Liberty....a barfly? "Oh the inhumanity of it all!" You guys will have to "School" me here because I say MS60, if you don't mind. I don't see the wear on any of the high points in the primary areas. The eagle's breast looks weak, but I don't think it's wear. The rim is beat up, but still looks full. The bag marks on the obverse are severe, which detracts from the grade, but the luster still appears good. Please, beat me up so I can learn. If you dare! Oh...just my humble opinion mind you.

cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 3:18 pm I agree with carmykle here, I see a low MS coin with some serious bag marks but no actual rub or wear. Does that still qualify it as AU? Report this Post to the Staff
