My friend picked this coin up a couple of weeks ago and ask me to shoot it and gather some opinions of it. I am not a good photographer, so bear with me here.

Thanks for all the comments and opinions.

    Tough tto tell form the photo, but I will guess AU50.

    Tell you what, it's a solid XF-45 for sure. Beyond that would be guessing.

    I meant to ask, what's GTG stand for?

    AU55 is my guess. However, I may be interpreting a weak strike as wear. If that's the case. MS62.

    Sorry but either your images or the surface conditions on this WLH look a bit fruity image

    Grade wise if not NET Graded it looks to be higher then AU53, somewhere between a very choice AU55 or even AU58.

    Coin is definitely an AU IMHO

    My guess is between an AU50--55----depending on what the surfaces look like in hand. From what I can tell from the pictures, I'm leaning towards the Au53--55. Bob [supertooth]

    I don't see much wear on the coin at all, and it looks to have excellent luster, so I'll go with AU55 as my grade guess. Frankly, I don't understand the low AU and high XF grade guesses in this thread.
  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I agree with you Mark.
  • DeepCoinDeepCoin Posts: 2,781 ✭✭✭
    I am with the AU55 crowd, but this also demonstrates why blowing up a coin far in excess of its actual size does not necessarily help either. The rims on the obverse certainly will look different in the correct size. I might push to a 58, but you can't make more than an educated guess, possibly a wag from the pictures.

    All that said, Nice coin!!

    Yeah, I definately see luster on the coin. I'd guess 55 to 58. I like it. As to your "friend"...As long as you like it, that is all that matters.
  • mumumumu Posts: 1,840
    Am I the only one who can see the surfaces everyone claims to not see? I think its a 58.

    I shot a low ball grade because I did not feel the image provided, did not send a true depiction of the actual coin. In essence, I was grading the image...sorry if I disappointed you.

    I'm a bit confused. I thought from the "GTG" portion of the thread title, that the coin had recently been submitted for grading. But it is apparently in an older, green label holder.

    Would you have guessed differently?
