donbruce New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 10:02 pm I just won an auction for this piece. Sorry for the poor quality images, they are from the listing so if there is any interest I will post more once I receive the coin. Thoughts on possible grade? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

When you do get the coin, take a new pic, and post it in the classic coin grading sub-forum.. I'm sure you'll get more replies Report this Post to the Staff

nwc coin Pillar of the Community United States 516 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 8:02 pm This one confuses me a bit.. Looks like a fully struck III on it, with little to no wear on the reverse that I see. So have to think it was a good strike.. Missing lots of detail like eddiespin said... I'm going to say EF40 too. Report this Post to the Staff

nwc coin Pillar of the Community United States 516 Posts	Posted 04/04/2011 09:56 am Prethen - do you view the lack of details in the hair as a weak strike or as wear? If it's a weak strike, is the hair the most difficult place to have a full strike - or can they be weakly struck on just one side? Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 04/04/2011 5:49 pm Looks like a typical non-hammered strike to me. The reverse basically tells me all I need to know when I look at the leaf detail, which in this case is very strong. Report this Post to the Staff
