fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 11/29/2010 11:50 pm Looks like VF detail Damaged/Corroded (second look - I'm probably giving it too much credit F-12 detail damaged/corroded) Edited by fenton 11/29/2010 11:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
scott hill Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 11/30/2010 03:57 am F-12 corroded looks about right to me. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 11/30/2010 05:27 am I think, if that coin didn't have any corrosion on it that it would be VF. Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 11/30/2010 11:56 am Thats a sad piece. By the condition of the rim and the bow tie you can see that actual honest wear is minimal; but the corrosion is so involved that some of the features for grading a unidentifiable (ie: the jaw). Would have been worth a pretty penny if it didn't lay in the ground (or whatever) for most of it's life. Can you really call it VF details if the details are obliterated, if so I agree with Maineman Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 12/05/2010 5:37 pm I'm willing to bet it was an XF+, possibly AU coin when it was dropped. You can tell the rims are well defined and the wheat lines and seeds look strong. I know, I wish there was more I can do for this coin but, there's not. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/14/2010 10:43 am This is a VF details, heavily corroded coin that would sell for G-VG money. PCGS would put it in a "genuine" holder, if in fact it is genuine. Some scummy people would take a Chinese copy and corrode it on purpose to hide the fact that it's not real...not saying this is the case here, just saying I cannot tell with a couple of small pics.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 12/14/2010 3:47 pm Thanks Chuck. That thought has crossed my mind about its authenticity, but under a loupe and after careful study, all the right diagnostics tend to be there. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
