I'm getting gun shy about gradeing from posted pics... so...

What the heck. VF 35

mgoodm3

VF30.

coppercoins

EF40, the coin suffers from a typical weak strike.

goose3

30 maybe 35.

XF40, but I'm getting the impression from the smallish picture that there may be some swirly cleaning lines to the left of the date below the eagle. As a matter of fact, the whole area beneath the eagle looks funny(?cleaning), but it's pretty hard to be certain because of the size of the picture.

EF-40

also i love the above average eye appeal of this coin
looks original unmolested example and also with much original orange coloration and also an even skin to the coin

40?

BillJones

EF-40 sharpness for sure. There could be some surface damage or smoothing under the eagle, but it's probably the odd angle of the picture.

Lakesammman

Every PCGS AU coin I've looked at isn't AU, so I'll guess AU50 even though it looks 40.

LRCTom

EF-40. 1857s tend to be soft in the tail area, so you have to keep that in mind.

The angle and size don't help, but it looks like a nice 40

partagas

concur with the rest of the 40's. But would be wary as to the swirlys. Where theres smoke theres fire.

Baley

I'd buy it as a VF from that picture but could indeed be EF

lordmarcovan

I'd go 40 to 45.

45/50

Details 40 at least. Evidently some luster remains; could be better than that. I'd want to see it, though -- the aforementioned swirlies could mean trouble.

PCGS-45?

DSH1963

AU50
