vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 02:59 am I see slight rub on the eagles breast, or it appears so in pics, AU58. Beauty. Welcome to the CCF! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
andyhello New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 03:07 am Wicked cool. Do you think I should get it graded? I was thinking about selling it. I like it, but I also need money. Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 04:07 am This is a nice coin. I don't know if it's just me or if other people have found this to but I see alot of FE's with weak strike on the E and S of states. This one nice! Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 10:53 am I see what Vermontensium is talking about. Man that coin is close to MS. I'd like to see better pics with the true color and luster. If you want to sell it you'll probably do better having it graded first. Report this Post to the Staff

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 1:04 pm very nice, I think it stands a chance of being MS....the scans loose the true color.. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 4:44 pm I would send it for grading. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
andyhello New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 5:24 pm It's got a really good luster. The only real problem I see is there is a tiny, tiny chip on the rim on the back side. Very small. The strike looks even better in person. I paid $220 for it. Edited by andyhello 03/01/2011 5:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 5:29 pm Is the luster more natural in hand? It looks dipped. I think the softness on the eagle's breast is strike, not wear. I've seen it on slabbed uncs. At a minimum its MS-60 details cleaned. The chip is irrelevant IMO. Good deal too, amazing deal if its not that heavily dipped.

andyhello New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 5:32 pm How can you tell if it's dipped? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 5:33 pm It could just be the pics but I had that on my mind too SC. It does have that "pinkish" look like it's been dipped. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
