Will this make XF??
Thanks,

It might (barely) make a commercial XF by some standards, but it appears to fall short by Fly-In standards.

I'd call it VF-30.

35-40 ?

I'd go VF

Can you show some better pics of the Lettering on the right side of the Obverse please. I think that may be a FND-01 Double Die Obverse

Smittys · November 19, 2004 2:08AM

It is the doubled die.
I thinking of having it slabbed.

CaptainRon · November 19, 2004 2:14AM

Don't do something silly like that, just send it to me

Actually that is a very cool coin, regardless if it is a vf or xf, you can see the doubling very clearly. Is there still enough detail left on the L, and in liberty to make out any of the doubling there as well.

Congrats
Ron

Not really the doubling there doesn't show
But the America looks great.
Thanks,

Wow the word "America" is doubled big time.

cool find

I would go with a just made it XF-40. The difference between VF and XF is whether the diamonds are separated from the hair curl.

The standards for Fly-In club grading for XF-40 is the lower hair curl and ribbon should be seperated (Full diamonds for XF-45). Yours looks like a VF.

The 1887 S-1 is a neat variety.

Looks like an honest Injun.
