DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 5:48 pm I posted before, but came back for a second look and wanted to revise my grade. I previously said about AU-55, but now that I'm looking at it again, the wear would seem to indicate EF. I would think EF-40 due to the weakness in the rails and wear on the ribbon and hair.

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 7:46 pm I would say VF-VF+. If I was buying it I would pass on an EF grade. Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 03:19 am I would go a high VF to low EF. But I'm not very good with Indian Heads. Report this Post to the Staff
cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 05:35 am My first impression is AU-55, but everyone else seems to think VF-EF. I just don't know. Report this Post to the Staff

I think it's just how strict you are. I first thought about AU-55 too, but then changed my mind after looking more closely at it. Report this Post to the Staff
The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 10:15 am In hand, (I'm not the best photographer) I gave it a AU-50. It does look better than the pictures. Well worth the $1.50 I spent. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6389 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 8:27 pm I'd say EF-45 to AU-50. There is a little weakness to the edges of the LIBERTY band; this should be sharp to make an AU grade but it could be strike-related. The reverse looks pretty dark. I don't see any porosity but I'm always a bit concerned about dark gray or black copper. It's often an indication of "environmental damage" (a.k.a. corrosion) which will render a coin ungradable by PCGS or NGC. Nevertheless, an excellent pickup for just $1.50!
