Hi guy's, another coin I picked on my cheap spending spree. Can I get your opinion and/or grade on this popular date? Thanks :)

    The pics leave a lot to be desired. But with that said it looks AU-53 to 55 to me.

    1916 is easily the most common of the early type 2s but for $10 how can you go wrong?

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    I'd give it a 55.

    I agree with 53.

    I would grade the coin forty dollars!
    I knew a dealer who would when asked what the grade of a coin was like fine or very fine would just give the answer in dollars! He said that was a perfectly valid way to express the grade. Then if you wanted an adjectival or numerical grade you would have to go to a pricing guide and work your way backwards to the actual grade he had in mind.
    Having given that some thought I guess it is just as valid as an adjectival grade (extra fine) or a numeric grade (ef40) or
    a dollar grade ($40). Just depends on what floats yer boat.

    $40 for an XF/AUish 1916 seems steep, or is that just a random example.
