What grade would you give this coin?

I'm going to give it AU-58

But as always, wait for somebody who knows what they are talking about to give an opinion

EF 45 - AU 50 at best, my guess!

I love grading coins from a scan. I think that the breast feathers look like they have some wear on them but the coin still has really good detail, so I am going to say EF-45.

Is it yours?
Or are you looking to buy.

Reason I ask is I might say what you might think is too harsh.
........the fields look to have hairlines from a wirebrushing?...
Defintely cleaned otherwise.Possibly too harshly IMO.
so,....I,ll grade the scan of the coin as......Very Fine details Net F14

I know thats way off,since those 20 centers` are graded way different.
It probably is EF.It just looks lower to me,technically.
That coin may be a `market grader` coin,thus the extreme leanincey(SP?)

Well, PCGS screwed up on this one. The fingerprints are all over the slab, not the coin!

Just don't tell me they graded it MS-60

MS60

XF-40. It sure looks cleaned by the hairlining in the fields. I would think xf45-au50 but downgraded to XF40 from the cleaning. I just bought a 75-S on ebay that looks unc. but over dipped I'll wait and see when I get it. Mike

EF-40.

It appears to have been cleaned at one time given the hairlines that I see, but the "liberty" is nice and sharp and this coin is well struck on the eagle's left wing. Many 1875-CC double dimes are weak in that area. It is certainly a desirable circulated coin.

AU-55?

I say vf

dorkkarl

i'd guess slabed at vf-30+, lets call it vf-35. i'd be around vf-20+ if those are cleaning hairlines in the right field. unlike other seated coins where "liberty" is incused in the shield, it is raised on 20c's. therefore, coins as high as vf-20 can have an incomplete "liberty".

I would also call it VF-30.

if PCGS says MS60...technically they're wrong...

It's in the high VF range, 30 or 35. There's too much wear for an XF designation. Agree w others re the cleaning; those hairlines don't look natural. What would concern me is the severity of what appears to be a dig or gouge just below BE of Liberty on the obverse shield.

Because of the not so subtle cleaning & gouge, I'm surprised PCGS would slab it.

CalGold

I never do well at these guess the grade things, but here goes. My first impression is that it is counterfeit, but maybe it has just been messed with. It looks like a hole or dig has been filled in the right obverse field. If die struck, very weak head and claws. Strong liberty doesn't fit with other weak shield details. Maybe that was tooled also.

Final net grade: no grade.

Fine 19.Al

Thanks for the feedback I guess it's graded correct if I average out the responses.
Btw there are no hairlines or gouge in real life, it just looks that way in the picture.
