Here are the only images I got of the coin before I submitted it to our hosts for grading. What do you guys think it'll grade? image

Note: Sorry, these were taken with my phone, and that little piece missing from the reverse was just cut off from the picture! image

Thanks guys!

    That coin talks alot................'er maybe it's the phone?

    One of the better phone pics but still not great. Oh, XF40 would be close.

    I agree with VF35, but XF40 would not surprise me. Great pick!

    40

    That's a spendioso coin in XF. There's such a small difference in wear between 35 and 40 that I'll be they "date grade" it a 35. If you get a 40, which is what I'm leaning towards, then congrats! That's a tough coin to find without problems.

    Nice pick! The best I've found is VG... I say EF-40.

    I'll guess 45.

    Thanks! I'm really hoping they give it that 40 for the eye appeal. It's a really nice pleasing coin. image I've previously found one other Micro s....in cleaned AG. image

    Great pick! Probably a 35. Maybe 40
  • DennisHDennisH Posts: 14,011 ✭✭✭✭✭
    XF40 (and $1700-$2000) with a shot at 45.

    You qualify for a YOU SUCK!! image
    When in doubt, don't.

    That's got to be a 40. Too good for a 35. If they hit it with a 35 tag, it will be one of the nicest 35's ever. I think its a better than average 40 and that's where it belongs. A very, VERY, nice find. Congratulations!

    Sure an XF40

    Would be xtra-cool to get a +

    (with a slight chance a 45)

    Keep us informed Paul

    I recently got back from PCGS a 1878 8TF 14.8 which I don't think has as much meat as your coin and it was returned as a xf45. Cert # 24068591. Hopefully you'll get the same graders. In my case there is probably not that much difference between a 40, and 45. Hard to pin down a value. Good Luck!!!

    I agree with 40... nice coin...Cheers, RickO

    I have owned both an XF 40 and XF 45 1903 Micro S $1 in PCGS plastic. My 45 was purchased raw. I think the coin you have is a 40 shot 45. Any luster still left on the coin?
  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,460 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I bet they bump it for the variety - 45. Nice. image

    If PCGS grades it like my 89-CC it's a 30!

    40! and I second the the "you suck"!
    may the fonz be with you...always...
  • coastaljerseyguycoastaljerseyguy Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think it is a definite XF40 with a shot at 45 if it has any remaining luster. Nice hair details on obv., lower leaf a little weak and good separation of neck feathers from breast.

    First- congrats

    I cherry picked one years ago

    This one is low to mid range 40- unless it looks significantly better in hand which is possible- not trying to be critical of the image. I would submit this one because it is a significant variety

    Looks like a solid 40 from here. Nice pick!

    A 35 one day and next time a 40. But let's hope it's in reverse order. image

    It looks super nice in hand and has no marks or distractions. Great addition and nice pick there Coinkid. Look forward to the results.

    35. What are people looking at to get 40 or 45? Please look at the obverse hair and brow plus cheek, etc. Rims? Hmmm EF? IMO not.

    I would say that you have a real good chance of it grading XF40

    Nice score image

    I think our hosts will label it a VF35 and if so, it should garner a gold bean. Congrats on a very nice pickup
