Jacked_J New Member Canada 38 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 6:47 pm Keep in mind the white stuff on the coin is dust... Report this Post to the Staff
Jacked_J New Member Canada 38 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 6:48 pm I mean dust on the plastic... not the actual coin. Report this Post to the Staff
thatcanuckyguy Valued Member Canada 166 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 7:40 pm Nice coin! Looks MS-60 at least in the holder. You should pop it from that holder for better photos and put it in a hard case. Just a quick observation...under the date on the rim looks like a metal gouge or something, maybe it is just the plastic of the holder. Where did you find it? Report this Post to the Staff
Jacked_J New Member Canada 38 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 9:04 pm Thank you! I inspected the rim, and it is not from a bang onto anything. Rim looks fine all the way around but I guess it has something sticking out where the date, where you pointed it out. I wish I can tell you my secret to finding high grade large cents. :P I added images without the holder. http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/...c00238cg.jpg http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/...sc00240f.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 9:10 pm Nice coin AU58 There is slight wear on the beads on the vertical band of the crown,as well as on the shoulder ribbon. Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 9:13 pm 55, there's slight wear on the crown beads and the overall strike isn't perfect, uncirculated I'd give it a 62/63. edit : DBM posted while I was typing lol Edited by Ugly 03/19/2011 9:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jacked_J New Member Canada 38 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 9:15 pm DBM, I guess my photos are not accurately showing the coin. I'm looking at it through the loop, and I see nothing worn down. Not even slightly. My only guess is that is lighting. I may send it in for grading a in a month or so. I'll see what I get then. Report this Post to the Staff

thatcanuckyguy Valued Member Canada 166 Posts	Posted 03/19/2011 9:27 pm Very nice! Looks like extra metal on the rim. Nice find. I'm thinking more AU now but that is just my opinion from what I see. Where are the large cent experts at? :) EDIT: DBM and UGLY :) Edited by thatcanuckyguy 03/19/2011 9:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
commoncents13 Valued Member Canada 248 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 03:43 am -Jacked_j-It looks like you want opinions! ---I'm going with DBM, Ugly and thatcanuckyguy! I would say he's generous with AU58 though! IMO, I could be wrong but think closer AU 50-55. ---It's a nice coin but look closely at your scan magnified. ---There is some wear on the crown not much but has,the mustache tip beard and ear all show slight wear, so MS60 or plus is out! ---It also appears to have lost some freshness to the luster but harder to say with your scan. ---Sorry if that's not what you want to hear.

Jacked_J New Member Canada 38 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 5:31 pm I just sent it in. We will see. :) Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 11:46 am Bigger isn't necessarily better. A 3mb image takes a long time to load, even on dsl, and the first thing the browser does is reduce it so you can see more than a staple or an ear. Regarding the coin, I'd say xf/au. I tried to load it into Irfanview and sharpen it up, but it choked on the file size. Report this Post to the Staff
