invisibleninja7 Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 8:03 pm I'll agree with AU-55, there's a lot to like about this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 9:04 pm I'm thinking EF-40 on this one...too many details missing at breast, right wing and rivits for me to go higher.Nice coin ! Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 10:54 pm These often have weak strikes, which is probably why. In terms of actual 'detail' compared to a solidly struck unc, you're talking VF-35 or EF-40 Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 10:54 pm Too much wear IMO for AU, but with the remaining luster and sharp detail it looks solid for EF-45. Nice strong date! Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 01:58 am Thanks for the comments. My opionion seems to be more around the forum average at AU-50. It definitely has obvious wear, but I think it barely has enough luster to carry it to a 50 though it would be 45 otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff
nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 10:05 am I would vote for au50. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 2:40 pm Hmm...maybe its just the photos, but the coin looks unusually clean (as in, not much chatter/hairlines typically seen on XF-AU coins) for the grade. I guess thats kind of why I said 55...but thinking back, I have a Barber half dollar with similar characteristics. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 2:47 pm I like EF-45 for this!! NICE!! (Man! I can't wait for the "14 Days of SLQs"!) Report this Post to the Staff

I do know we tend to grade up on SLQ's, but I'm thinking this is an average strike, which is what the ANA grading standards are based on. Am I thinking incorrectly ? Report this Post to the Staff

This is why luster is important here for evaluating the grade. Had it been a fully struck piece with the same amount of detail as this one; there would be less luster visible since it would have had to been exposed to more wear. So yes, it would grade lower imho. Anyways, SLQs are some of the toughest coins to grade, and there is often a wide difference in opinions. ANACS just kicked my rear end on a 1916 I had graded, but it really depends on how heavily you weigh certain attributes of a coin.

busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 11:54 pm EF-45 would be my guess. Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 12:49 am Nice vf, due to weak strike. An au from the slobbing services wouldn't surprise me. Report this Post to the Staff
