Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 5:55 pm Picked this up yesterday. It was in an old dansco with others wheats. Having trouble with getting good images. Two are scans and two are pics. It's unc. and goes right down the middle on red and light brown mix. The red shows luster. In the pic. of the date the area above is from a shadow. What would be the deciding factor if any on the highest possible grade with an RB like this one ? Or does the color really matter ? Would be nice if I could nail it down but ? In hand it looks really nice. Any help appreciated. Details I would say should go at least 64/65 min. Any furthur help appreciated. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 8:50 pm Thanks all for your input. I will take the concensus on this one at a 64 RB. Maybe without that ding on the rev. and a few tiny rim scratches etc. there also, it may of gone 65. All in all not a bad pickup for $0.03 The album/albums I had picked up all at once were mostly browns etc. and the coins were not even in the right holes. When I saw the red on this one I was just about to toss it into that RB 50's pile. Glad I turned it over and looked :) I also found 3 1909's and some decent M.M.'s in the teens and 20's along with a few indians. I was over at the sellers place looking to buy an 1898 $5.00 gold liberty and she brought out some other coins, a watch, silver necklace and pendant and other stuff. I never even looked at the wheats until I got home. She is a friend of my Mom's so I will go back and give her some extra cash for the coins. You never know what you may still find out there and if by chance you find even a small treasure then it's always a good idea to go back to the customer and let them know. You'd be surprised how they appreciate that. And it is always good for all involved. And by this I mean private type buys not dealers :) Hey, what goes around comes around.
