AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 11:43 am Beautiful large cent !!! I have no idea as to the market grade. 63 might be right, but the EAC grade would most likely be in the 50 to 55 range, IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
50cents Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 12:13 pm Both of you got the market grade - ANACS 63 and in hand I can see some wear at the high points so the EAC grade of 50 to 55 would be my guess also. Thanks! Edited by 50cents 11/03/2006 12:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 3:09 pm EAC ain't messin' around. They grade 150-year-old coppers like they were modern commems. The TPG's would be out of work in a month if they were that strict. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 3:32 pm thats a fact, if you get a coin that the EAC graded XF any of the top TPG's would grade it atleast AU-58 and sometimes even in the MS grades. When I first started buying old copper coins I went to a few dealers that use the EAC standards and I thought WOW they really think their coins are made of gold because of their pricing, then I went and started looking elsewhere and noticed everyone elses AU and MS coins were priced about the same as those others XF coins (of course at this time I knew very little about copper coins and was just going by the assigned grade and not the coin)after I did learn a little I went back to the first pages and noticed those XF coins looked better than alot of the MS coins that were in the top TPG holders the other people were selling Report this Post to the Staff
TypeMaster Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 4:09 pm This coin I would grade an MS 62 or 63. I don't see any moved metal in the devices and the only issue I do see is a bit of field dings. I would also expect to see a coin in this nice of condition to have a bit more luster. All in all I like it very much. Very nice! Report this Post to the Staff
Silver Dollar Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 8:14 pm WOW!!! What a beautiful coin. MS63 I think would be appropriate. If you own it I am envious. One in this excellent condition is just great. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 9:37 pm even though I said once I purchased a coin for my dansco album that it was there to stay I may be tempted to buy such a coin as yours to replace the one that is in there at present time Report this Post to the Staff
