vicnem3rd New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 2:58 pm does it matter if some of those stars are worn alittle or is that just from a week strike? Report this Post to the Staff
TheDepreso Valued Member 63 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 3:02 pm looks like a weak strike to me, doesn't seem it has seen the light of day, so I don't see how they could have been scratched Edited by TheDepreso 05/07/2011 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15396 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 4:31 pm Indeed ... gotta' love the new image optimizer ... another wonderful innovation from the Forum Dad Bobby. To your coin ... it is very difficult to gauge the luster from your photos. Also .... assume it is raw? ... but it appears that you have taken the photos through some sort of holder? The holder (whatever it is) is blurring the image. I am not able to offer an informed opinion on grade from the photos shown ... but can offer that the high points of design that will first show rub are the obverse hair above the forehead and left of the ear and on the reverse the corn cobs at the bottom of the wreath. If these are un-rubbed with original luster then you have an MS coin ... again ... I am unable to judge from the photos. To your question of TPG ... for sure I would prefer ANACS over IGC ... This coin has a circulation-strike mintage of 29,825,000 and is readily available in MS condition un-slabbed. Be sure you are prepared to pay $30+ to slab a coin that is really not that valued in say MS63 state. Let us know how it turns out for you.

thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 05/08/2011 06:47 am Due to the scratches, I would give your coin a MS63. The softness of the stars in the obverse is due to a weakened strike and shouldn't affect the grade of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
