    Is that rub on the horizontal lines of the shield? AU55-58.

    Edited to add: RB

    Super-cool RB coin, Russ - nice piece.

    Coinguy1 said I can't grade it from the picture image (I'm just being humerous - I have a lot of care and respect for Coinguy1).

    Is it possible that it is under the MS range?

    It's an AU50. It was my first attempt at submitting Two Cent pieces to PCGS, and just got back today. I had guessed AU55, so I actually feel pretty good about this one.image

    Edit: PS: I think it's probably one of the best looking AU50s out there.

    What's the color designation, Russ?

    I confess - I really CAN grade from images. It's just that no one else in the world can and I didn't want to make everyone else feel bad.image

    I grade it either "RB" or "BN", probably original color and either AU 55 or AU58 or MS61 or MS62 or MS63, but I'm not positive about that either. How did I do? Oh, I almost forgot, if you want the ACG grade let me know - that's much easier.image

    I admit it...I cheated !!!image

    You should read Russ' posts closer...

    Mark -- I think you've narrowed it down to being a coin.image

    I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.

    Always looking for nice type coins

    BNE,

    The submission report says AU50BN, but the holder just says AU50.
