nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 4:16 pm I rate it Seriously, it is at least an AU, but I do not know where wear on these first shows up so it could be an MS. Report this Post to the Staff
daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 5:03 pm Looks Ms to me but I am with nod I dont know much on grading them. Nice coin Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 5:24 pm Wow, the veins on the leaves on obhverse are well-defined, great details and looks like some luster remains. On the reverse I'm having trouble determining what kind of detail there is on the wheats (is that what they are, forgot!). The way the light hits it in spots makes it look like it has some wear. At any rate, I think it is at least an AU coin and a key date too! Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 5:57 pm I'm going to agree with Nod to. I just don't see wear. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 6:24 pm I have to agree with the rest of crowd. At a minimum this is a very nice choice AU but could very well be an MS. According to the ANA grading standards, wear usually first shows up on the word WE, leaf tips, the arrow points, and the ribbon on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Chadwick Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 5:12 pm Wow, that is a stunning coin. I expect anyone will be hard pressed to find a nicer example. I would definitly have this one sent off for slabbing and preservation. Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 5:28 pm Definitely a MS coin. I would go for MS63? KK Report this Post to the Staff
