    The color looks nice, but I'm not 100% sure the surfaces are original? Maybe... maybe not. If so, I don't see why it wouldn't straight-grade.

    But it looks like a slider to me- likely to get an AU grade. And that being the case, it might not be worth the cost of slabbing it, unless you got it on the cheap and just want it in plastic.

    Otherwise, it would look dandy in an album collection.

    Yes, I agree. When I saw the obverse, I thought, "That looks attractive," and then I scrolled down to the reverse, and thought, "not original." I don't think that it will get a straight grade.

    Questionable color. It would make a nice coin for an album.

    Old cleaning, retoned in album? No grade.

    <<< in the old cleaning and retoned camp here with very little chance of a straight grade

    I'm going to buck the trend as I believe it'll grade MS-.

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    I have a 13S hoping for a grade also.

    would that be worth getting slabbed?

    Not if I sent it in.

    Borderline leaning toward body bag. Passed on it when I saw it for sale

    The color and the toned field chatter on the reverse don't sit right with me. Images are too fuzzy to tell if it's a cleaned AU or must messed with somehow.



    I'd like my copper well done please!

    Not a lock for a straight grade, especially when I look at there reverse toning, but there's only one way to find out.

    The gold color is what is throwing the coin off for me as none of the CF coins show that tone.

    Altered Surfaces / Questionable Toning

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
