1826 50C GTG, Should I try and cross it over?

The coin is currently in an old PCI holder thinking of cracking it and sending it in.

Thank you for your feedback.

45-50 and I would cross it.

A nice looking coin. I'd grade it 50 by current standards.

I like that coin. I'll guess an AU-53. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like an AU-

If the group of hairlines between the cap and stars are grossy worse in hand, I don't really see anything keeping out of a holder.

After looking at a few on HA.com I noticed that many of the other coins have a shorter 2 of the 1926, this coin appears to differ in that the 2 is a bit taller looking and not as wide.

Does anyone know if that is anything to be desired?

Thanks for the feedback so far.

Edit* found some that have the same number 2 (O-102) not sure if this coin is one but the date looks the same

I guessed a choice EF-45 or AU-50. Its a nice coin and I like it a lot.

guitarwes · February 20, 2012 4:43AM

Looks like an O.102. R1 in the book, unless it'a a condition census variety (which I don't think it is). Still a nice coin.

BillJones · February 20, 2012 4:43AM

I would say that coin would certainy get an AU-50, maybe even an AU-55 from the photo. It all depends upon the amount of luster. Yea, it's worth crossing.

Looks like a 50 to me.

TomB · February 20, 2012 4:51AM

Looks like a really wonderful coin.

SoCalBigMark · February 20, 2012 6:39AM

Can anyone tell me if what looks like some of the wear is a weak strike?(btw love the coin, 55!)

coinman23885 · February 20, 2012 6:57AM

AU 50

MikeInFL · February 20, 2012 6:57AM

53. Nice coin.

Not too risky since PCGS will not crack it to place it in a genuine holder. Only the fee and shipping are at risk.

I like it as a 50-53. It's a nice coin and I would cross it.

Thank you for the feedback; looks like I will be sending it in, but I will crack it out as I have always had better luck with my results.

If it is one of the really old PCI holders from the 1991-1994 time frame, I would leave it- especially if it is in a 50 holder. If it was graded by PCI that long ago, it may have been graded a 45

tightbudget · February 20, 2012 9:34AM

53. I'd cross it.

LindeDad · February 20, 2012 10:56AM

I think it will look great in a new pronged holder.
