If "WE" (the Royal variety) think highly enough of this one, a "whizzed" 1864 with 180 degree rotation will be exiting stage right from my 7070. Paleoguy Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 02:52 am Please keep in mind that I am new to grading. From the photos the strike looks a little weak. While keeping that in mind I think the coin is at least MS60. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 07:10 am I am not as experienced as well so I have a hard time telling between AU and UNC from pictures. Based on the color (if it has not been recolored), I would agree on the MS grading because I have not seen one in AU condition this bright. OK, those with more experience, please chime in!

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 08:02 am Sorry I have to go lower I put it in the EF range details. Unless the Dansco windows are obscuring the details. The Whizzing has for filled its purpose. But it can't bring back detail that's not there, the leaves are missing vein detail and the ribbon is way to flat. Perhaps if you took it out of the album and took new pics I would revise my 2c worth. Report this Post to the Staff
