barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5862 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 1:39 pm I picked this one up about 4 months ago for $24: The seller didn't grade it other than to to say it was "very nice" and "toned." It is a very dark coin, but there's still quite a lot of detail visible. My best guess would be an XF40, although some parts (like the date) seem to be better defined than the example shown for XF40 on the PGCS PhotoGrade site. Maybe even an XF45? What do you think? Also, is this what is considered a "full head" SLQ? I've seen the term used before, but I'm not sure exactly what it means. Thanks!

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 2:59 pm It looks like a solid crusty EF but not Full Head. That descriptor is only used on high AU-MS coins as the head details wear off quickly if they were ever there in the first place. You need to see the ear hole and three leaves in the head wreath for FH status. Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 6:45 pm Solid EF-40. Might go EF-45 on this one. This coin would not be FH but it looks like it it may have at one point because the strike is very sharp. Very nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 7:14 pm I'm wondering if the coin was smoked to cover scracthes. Not bad looking, I could see XF. Report this Post to the Staff
mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 02:10 am Thanks for posting this picture. Have any of you ever seen a coin that gave you flashbacks to your younger years and those feelings you would get when, as a kid, you were looking at 'old' coins for the first time? Like discovering something new... Its a great feeling that I get every so often, and this coin just gave it to me. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 09:06 am I really like the antique patina on "darkish" coins like this one and search them out. Just a quirk of mine I guess. Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5862 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 09:18 am Glad you like it, guys! I was looking for a decent example within my budget. All the others I saw with this amount of detail looked shiny and new and were priced accordingly. I figure I got this one at a lower price because of the "toning," but I'm perfectly happy with it.
