scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 01/14/2011 10:00 pm According to CDN, there's a $6.00 jump between VF and EF on this coin. There's a rim-dent on the obverse at 12:00. Would that keep this coin from grading EF? Report this Post to the Staff

okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 01/14/2011 10:10 pm The sharpness is certainly EF. In my opinion, that's what it is, but I'll wait for CopperCoins take on this one. The dent doesn't seem to be that severe to me. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 03:03 am Rim bump doesn't look too bad. It certainly would be EF. Thad say AU and that's where the big price jump comes in. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 05:22 am I'd say it's at least a strong EF45 if not AU50. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 10:03 am EF 45+ the obverse looks AU but the wheat stalks are a hair weak for an AU-50 Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 01:22 am fenton - These are known for worn dies and mushy strikes. Use the better struck wheat (left) to look for wear. It's an old trick we have to do when one side is poorly struck. A TGP might very well EF this coin, but I personally think the wear is not that bad. I disagree with the TPG's all the time. Also note the obverse shows just a slight rub, there's no major hits on either side, the fields are nice. The only downfall I see on this coin is the obverse surface residue. On a coin of this value, I wouldn't hesitate to remove that. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 01/16/2011 01:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
