What would you grade this one?

FC57Coins · October 15, 2004 10:57AM

AU55/58 Mikey - looks nice!

Nice coin. I agree with FC57Coins. But, I'm a lowly colonial collector. What do I know!

granddad · October 15, 2004 11:01AM

Looks like a 55 from what I can see from the pic. Nice coin.

Have a Great Day!

I may be missing (a lot) but looks 64-65 to me...?

Rock solid 63.

ziggy29 · October 15, 2004 11:12AM

At least AU-55, maybe 58.

Louis · October 15, 2004 11:13AM

MS62 ?

FC57Coins · October 15, 2004 11:16AM

Um - does anyone else see rubs on Liberty's hair, breast, and thigh, and on the eagle's wings at the top?

Numismanic · October 15, 2004 11:19AM

Very nice coin, I'll say AU58.

<< <i>Um - does anyone else see rubs on Liberty's hair, breast, and thigh, and on the eagle's wings at the top? >>

Um - given that I said 55-58, that would be affirmative.

Louis · October 15, 2004 11:20AM

I still think it'll make MS.

<< <i>Um - does anyone else see rubs on Liberty's hair, breast, and thigh, and on the eagle's wings at the top? >>

I think it's a lighting issue...is that rub on her lower belley above her left leg...lighting...IMO.

Au55 or 58, but it is one 1907 I woulkd like to have, Super clean

I agree it's super clean- it looks like it was freshly polished. This coin has obviously been harshly cleaned yet it is graded MS62 because of it's rarity. It seems like the standards keep going down for the rare coins- take a close look at some of the stuff up for auction these days. mike

AU-58 / MS-62

I don't know about *obviously*, but one thing it's obviously not, IMO, is mint state. Who graded it 62?

granddad · October 15, 2004 11:51AM

Just what I was thinking ziggy

darktone · October 15, 2004 11:53AM

PCGS graded this coin. When the field rub goes right down in between the rays on both sides it kind of a dead give away the coins been cleaned- you know how much wear a saint has to have to have rub all they down in these crevices? and other less protected area's have no rub. If it was graded AU55 I would have just figured it was net graded. mike

tradedollarnut · October 15, 2004 12:01PM

MS60 ... lightly cleaned.

mgoodm3 · October 15, 2004 2:03PM

I was thinking AU 55/58

ms70 · October 15, 2004 2:27PM

60
