Do you think this CBH would straight grade at our host?

There is some minor hair lining in the obverse fields. I think you can see them in the photo.

    I think so, yes.

    I don’t think so. I usually look at the cheek, in this case it isn’t “smooth” like coming from the Mint, nor does it have what I would call normal wear. I am sure others will chime in. Better photos would help. More light….

    I am leaning toward yes. The single lamp light could be accentuating the circulation hairlines on the cheek, so I am assuming the coin looks a little better in hand. PCGS seems to give a little leeway for the reeded edge CBH type since they frequently come ugly.

    Close call, in hand inspection required.

  • SmudgeSmudge Posts: 9,526 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Probably, based on the photos.

    I would agree. Yes.

    Yeah it should, unless the hairlines in hand when tilted around are very visible.

    If the images are close to accurate, yes.

    I would say yes.

  • PizzamanPizzaman Posts: 285 ✭✭✭

    Yes, definitely.

    I think it has a good chance. While those aren't the greatest images to grade from, it looks like it will to me, and i suspect it might look better in hand than those images suggest.

    Here is the photo cert. The reason I ask, it's been my experience with these later photo certificates that are graded 45/45 is that ANACS net graded them. I have several other denominations graded 45/45 and most of them seem to have AU details with a light cleaning.

    Agree with the consensus. Nice coin

  • HillbillyCollectorHillbillyCollector Posts: 610 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I agree with most everyone, if it’s close to the pics. I believe it will straight grade.
    Nice looking coin by the way!

    I think it will grade, perhaps 5 points higher than the ANACS papers.
