very nice 35!

robertpr · January 20, 2016 2:48PM

Normally I'd say 35, but it's a High value CC so it probably came back in a 25 slab.

Baley · January 20, 2016 2:56PM

Very nice, I'll guess 38

VicPortland · January 20, 2016 3:28PM

illini420 · January 20, 2016 3:29PM

I'd guess VF30

30...

ms70 · January 20, 2016 9:53PM

30 because of the shield. Nice coin.

291fifth · January 20, 2016 9:54PM

A very nice XF40.

Great year/mm combo! VF35

Walkerguy21D · January 20, 2016 10:43PM

Holder likely says 35, but most would call it XF.

DollarAfterDollar · January 20, 2016 11:27PM

VF 30 here.

roadrunner · January 20, 2016 11:47PM

Technical VF35 detail....but XF40 overall. Reverse has 40 details.

Yet the surfaces look incredible for a 70-cc that a "net" upgrade to XF40 would be quite reasonable. This is probably nicer overall than most slabbed XF40's. This is a date where I'd value surfaces a lot higher than normal...enough where it can overcome a little less detail.

Before I scrolled down to see what the other "experts" has to say, I guessed 35 also. I loved the '38', fence sitter!

Flatwoods · January 20, 2016 11:49PM

Nice coin! VF-30

OldIndianNutKase · January 21, 2016 12:10AM

35

jesbroken · January 21, 2016 12:20AM

I agree with ms70, shield holds it to vf30.

jerseycat101 · January 21, 2016 1:08AM

First thought was VF35.

asheland · January 21, 2016 1:27AM

VF35 here

TPRC · January 21, 2016 2:32AM

30

ricko · January 21, 2016 3:38AM

35.... at least as a 'photo grade'....could be better or worse in hand. Cheers, RickO

CommemKing · January 21, 2016 4:25AM

VF30

291fifth · January 21, 2016 7:55AM

And the grade is ??? (I'm not used to being on the high end of guess the grade threads!)

coinkat · January 21, 2016 8:23AM

I would rather see it in hand to really look at the fields. Based on the pattern of wear, 35 seems the most likely grade. I would consider a 40 if there is lustre

TennesseeDave · January 21, 2016 8:28AM

Obverse 30 reverse 40= 35 overall. Has a great look to it.

cccoins · January 21, 2016 10:31AM

It is a nice PCGS XF40, CAC approved. Good guesses, and lots of insightful comments.

291fifth · January 21, 2016 10:54AM

I'm relieved that I got it right. I guess I won't have to tighten my grading standards after all!

Baley · January 21, 2016 11:34AM

Of the folks who got it wrong, who was closest?

Very nice coin

Walkerfan · January 21, 2016 11:46AM

VF 30 would've been my wag.

HandH · January 21, 2016 12:13PM

Love the coin. I think it is appropriately 40 CAC warranted , from the pics.

jdimmick · January 21, 2016 10:17PM

holy cow that's a sweet coin.

Love to have that one. Had a 25 OGH (probably a 35) now that was similar, but sold it years ago

if you ever sell it, PM me

I'd like to know what others found wrong with the "shield." I didn't see anything there.

I think the photo gives the impression that the outline of the shield blends with the skirt and rock, and possibly LIBERTY is weak on the outside letters.

Guess the grade
