    I’m at F15+…..even with the grade posted.
    Looks like the grader was shooting for a gold CAC on that one!

    I was going to guess VF25 possible scratches. VG 10 seems a bit low.

    I was going to guess VF20... wow...

    I have a similar design 1805 50c I may submit some day. Probably the oldest coin I own - dont remember when I picked it up, or from where (gramps maybe?)?

  • fishteethfishteeth Posts: 2,253 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think its a F+, but the obverse looks a little off. perhaps they net graded it.

    Definitely there was some net grading going on here. The sharpness grade is a VF-25/30, but there is some pitting on the reverse. The coin was probably dipped in some sort of a chemical years ago. I think that Fine-15 might have been a more appropriate net grade.

    I was thinking VF20, minimum but the reverse is a little different. I think @BillJones has it right.

  • braddickbraddick Posts: 24,194 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The asking price is for a VF30 coin, yet it is a bit of a scarce variety.

    That's a way higher grade like vf25 or so, jmo

  • NumisOxideNumisOxide Posts: 10,997 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I was going with vf20

  • scubafuelscubafuel Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It's a nice coin, maybe net graded a bit but still VG10 seems harsh. It's also the rarest variety for the year, and probably top 3-4 rarest for the draped bust series.

  • SmudgeSmudge Posts: 9,603 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Tough grade. I was at 15-20.

  • 291fifth291fifth Posts: 24,448 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Before I looked at the photo of the coin in the holder I would have said F15 based on wear. It may have been net graded downward because of the light scratches on the obverse.

    All glory is fleeting.

    When struck it looks like it was pretty well all there. One star on the reverse not as well represented. Looks like it bought a lot of things in it’s life.
    I guess I saw a hard working 25.

    I like that coin. David ! The price is just too high.

  • manlye1manlye1 Posts: 229 ✭✭✭

    I actually thought it was cheap.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I was going to say 20... Still looks like a 20.... I hesitate to second guess an in hand grader though.... So probably a fair grade. Cheers, RickO

    I would have said F15 -- nice coin!
