    Not the easiest pics to grade from...can't tell if there is wear or just a mushy strike on the obverse.
    From one perspective it looks VF, from another AU.

    I'm guessing 50.

    Is this a guess the ICG grade? Or guess how it ends up at PCGS?

    I'm in at 35 by our hosts, 45 in its current holder.

    Thanks for the guesses - grade posted. Did anyone notice the variety?

    I guessed the grade correctly, now you want to know which special variety it is? I see it is as not a special variety, but one never knows. Aren't Busties fun? Go to CoinZip, if you want to know more. All the marriages are shown there. Have fun!

    I believe it's the 1836 / 1336

    Accurately graded, imo, maybe even a bit conservatively so. I thought you had crossed it to PCGS and guessed XF45.

    It'll most definitely be going with my next submission. It has plenty of luster and I think it's under graded.

    Thats what it looks like...check 107 too, but you should be able to see the remnant 3 with a loupe, shouldn't you ?
    if it is as lusterous as it looks in your pics, I'll stand by my guess of 50....maybe 45 at pcgs image

    The 1836/1336, in XF40, should have the remnants of the lower 3 knob end visible inside the lower loop of the 8. It may show with the coin in hand, but I certainly do not see it in the picture. Take a look at one of my 1836/1336.

    It looks to be a decent coin- 40-45 seems reasonable.

    Lets not get trapped into using the holder to grade the coin- learn to recognize the striking charateristics of the date and draw reasonable conclusions

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Thanks, I knew I was missing something. I took a look under my loupe and that small remnant in the lower left side of the loop of the 8 is definitely there, so variety confirmed image

    Now, what's an 1836/1336 worth in this grade?

    The piece seems to have some luster on the reverse, but the obverse is too scruffy to make AU. I think ICG pretty much got it right although one could make a convincing argument for calling it a VF-35. The old time collectors used to say if you were within 5 points on a circulated grade, you were pretty much in agreement.
