Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/28/2011 5:08 pm I am even scared to give an opinion on grade on this thing. The strike is almost perfect and very strong. I can not see any hits or anything in the pictures provided but I think this is because of the lighting used and angle the picture was taken. I would really like to see a straight on shot with good lighting before I give an opinion on grade but if I were to give one on the pictures provided it would be rather high because the coin looks as close to perfect as one could expect from a coin 142 years old. Either way just going by strike alone I would probably get this one graded to protect the coin no matter what Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/29/2011 4:24 pm I agree, the strike is just awesome on this coin. Classic Proofs are plagued with hair lines so I don't think that is a problem with this coin. I still see no hits or anything that I can think that would keep it out of the PF-64 grade but am still uncomfortable grading higher from pictures but would not be surprised if it did get a higher grade just on eye appeal and strike alone Report this Post to the Staff
