    I only have one California Fractional from the 1870's... these things get super scarce the closer you get to 1849!

    I've been completing a Wayte Raymond album of Large Cents and recently got this one...

    VF 20 I like the coin, but that thing spent a significant amount of time under the ground.

    @Clackamas1 , I think the rules are no details, so I imagine this is straight graded.

    Love the pioneers. Along with colonials, grading is a significant challenge.

    OK, two hints to this one:
    1) it’s the S-7 variety, so there’s no grade detraction for all the business from the $20 outline on the obv;
    2) it’s in an old ANACS soap bar holder.

    That is the strongest clash I've ever seen on this var. ANA was conservative and that coin is flatly struck.
    The mint luster remaining is VF+ quality, so it is either in a 25 or 30 slab as each of the other good guess is already taken. I'm not picking one because I would have to Pass if I got one correct.

    @Clackamas1 is correct & next up

    Note: I later submitted the coin to PCGS; grade given there was VG10.
    @jfriedm56 was also correct, just not for this post. Good guess Zack!

    I always have trouble with these and I think this is one of my favorite designs. This coin has made the trip to CAC as well.
