cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 06:02 am I don't know about AU. There's a lot of wear on the shield. EF-45 is where I'm going with this one. Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 11:53 am I agree to much wear on the shield XF Report this Post to the Staff
Foolsgold Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 12:30 pm How about the motto? Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 3:12 pm I am no expert on these things but when I first saw the pictures my first thought was XF-40-XF-45 so that is what I am going to say. I find when I second guess myself I would have been better with my first thought Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 5:05 pm I think this is the common large motto type. Gradewise I agree with EF-45. Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 3:22 pm Yes Large motto. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 5:39 pm I attributed the 'wear' to a strike issue...the rest of the coin doesn't look appropriately worn for XF to me. The bow on the ribbon looks to be virtually untouched even... Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 5:52 pm Yes there are strike issues but there are also visible wear marks. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 6:08 pm Most of those 'wear marks' I agree with. That amount of loss of detail in the shield just seems highly inconsistent with the rest of the minor areas of wear. Also, one of the pictures showed nice luster. The wear marks look consistent with AU-53 or so to me, I guess. Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 7:20 pm Here is one with similar strike issues. As you can see the wear marks are far less obvious I chose ANACS as they are the most consistent on this series. PCGS is all over the place I guess they call it market grading...

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 7:50 pm That one looks to have strong striking in places, but lacks luster =/ Detail wise the new coin looks better than 50 overall, except for the luster. Wouldn't be surprised about PCGS at all. Report this Post to the Staff
