coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/10/2011 11:08 pm marymanard - Just takes experience to be able to tell these things. Your coin is the wrong color and the surfaces don't look anything like natural. Way too shiny. DrDon - the reverse of that coin was struck with a very worn out die. You don't grade a coin based on the detail left by a worn out die, you grade by the detail that isn't gone. The obverse and reverse didn't wear differently, and the obverse shows EF detail. If the coin weren't polished it would be EF40. Report this Post to the Staff

acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 12:40 am The reverse is a very late die state as CopperC pointed out. Obverse is almost at late die state. Coin is cleaned. Would come back as VG/F, details - cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
