This just in, my first new coin of the new year, a toughie, what do you think it grades?

As Always, show you coins of this type!

razorface1027 · January 2, 2004 9:41AM

I'd say AU 50, given the age of course...

DHeath · January 2, 2004 9:44AM

I'd say about 45. Some hints of luster, but enough wear to take it out of AU. Fun coin.

I agree pretty much with Don H, Solid Xf-40 to Xf-45

Cam40 · January 2, 2004 9:47AM

AU53 is my guess

mgoodm3 · January 2, 2004 9:48AM

I'll say low AU.

Baley · January 2, 2004 9:52AM

I see a few hairlines... does anyone think this thing has been cleaned?

Baley · January 2, 2004 9:53AM

cuz you know, cleaning is a no-no

Cam40 · January 2, 2004 10:04AM

i did see the hairlines on the obv and only took off one grade point for it.

maybe it should be lower because of the scratches.

45 is the lowest i,d go i guess

clw54 · January 2, 2004 10:11AM

VF35 without looking at previous responses, and that's based on the wear at the edge of the shield.

DHeath · January 2, 2004 10:11AM

I just can't pass up those guys when I see them around. Yours is nicer than this old 53, but how often do you get to post to a trime thread.

Baley · January 2, 2004 10:18AM

well, Don, yours is a different subtype, without the lines around the star. I'd say they were in similar grade.

I have 4 total of these little guys, one of each I, II, and 2 of the III.

Finally home to take a quick shot

Whoops

I'll see what I can do about the size

XpipedreamR · January 2, 2004 1:21PM

XF45

Baley · January 2, 2004 3:00PM

hey, mrpawn, you have a sibling of my coin!

I'd say they're in the EF realm, definitely 40 with a shot at 45

Placid · January 2, 2004 3:24PM

Strange how the line that looks like it goes into the coin from the upper right part of the star to the letter M seems to continue past the coin onto the holder.

Mrpawn · January 2, 2004 3:32PM

Baley, I enjoy finding these little guys when they look good. Will try to get photo of a nice 1852 AU58 sometime soon.

Baley · January 2, 2004 4:05PM

coinlieutenant · January 4, 2004 7:32AM

I dont think that it has been cleaned Dave...

Nice coin.

smprfi · January 4, 2004 7:51AM
