I'll say F12 in the PCGS holder even though the reverse is weak.

EAC grade probably 12+/8 net 8

I concur with indeetlib.....though it may be a genny holder, as I have seen coins with better surfaces in genny holders.

Maybe they didnt look at the reverse

Alltheabove76 · October 31, 2013 6:21AM

Or maybe they are better at distinguishing weakness of strike from wear than you are..

I didnt know that came into play at that grade level. Learned something new.

299- definitely overgraded imo as well.

S-67 does often come with a weakly struck reverse and this coin probably is a Fine technically (F15? ..maybe not). But usually PCGS pays no attention at all to variations in strike quality for different die varieties, so this is an interesting and pretty generous grade.

By way of comparison, here is one of my 1794s in a PCGS F12 holder:

Pretty sure its an S-69 not 67. (also an R3)

You're right, S-69 it is. They both usually come with pretty weak reverses.

And nice Starred Reverse, rays!

I didn't even notice! If you want to trade your F12 for my F15, I'd be willing!
