GoldenEyeNumismatics · March 30, 2008 7:14AM

vf35?

savoyspecial · March 30, 2008 7:15AM

my opinion 35 but a nice strike for the date

from that pic - just on the obv, I'd say it was a VF20

Edited - ok I see a rev now... Perhaps 40, but I now agree with the rest, probably 30-35

VF30/VF35

I think it should 40 based on the notorious weak strikes.

Jcarney · March 30, 2008 7:18AM

Solid XF40.

VF30

AlteredTone · March 30, 2008 7:34AM

Thanks! I will put on BST... What do these go for? $20?

ArizonaJack · March 30, 2008 7:35AM

solid 35, just a squeaker 40, not quite, but well struck, mushy wheats are the norm. $20 is a fair value

doh · March 30, 2008 7:36AM

They go for a lot more that $20 in PCGS XF holders...yours is a 35/40 I'd say. Decent strike....better than a lot of 26-Ss, that's for sure!

VF35... Cheers, RickO

I think it suffers from the typical substandard strike... I think 45 is a tad optimistic and 40 is likely tops. still it is a nice coin for the date...

EF-40

To me, a VF would show a little more flatness on the cheekbone and beard....I think a weak strike is responsible for the lack of ear and hair detail.

The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards is your friend and might cost only $15.

30

jmski52 · March 30, 2008 9:46AM

VF30, but I've seen much worse strikes on a 26-S.

anoldgoat · March 30, 2008 9:47AM

I'd say VF30

mike

Connecticoin · March 30, 2008 9:50AM

40

MrEureka · March 30, 2008 9:59AM

I'd say 45. Although it's missing detail due to the strike, the features don't show much flattening on the high points from wear.

Shamika · March 30, 2008 11:21AM

I think 40 looks about right.

LincolnCentMan · March 30, 2008 11:27AM

VF-30

droopyd · March 30, 2008 11:31AM

i think it's a vf30 (maybe a 35 but i don't parse the grades that closely) - definitely falls short of 40.

RedneckHB · March 30, 2008 11:42AM

I really dont see much wear on the left wheat stalks, while the right side are weakly struck. Typical obverse strike.
Ii see no problem with calling it 40.
