Opinion of 1833 25c would help.....

A recent pick-up.

Trouble-free rims, good luster, extremely light hairlines in spots and most likely dipped a few times.

Is it AU? And is the 1833 date much more sought after because of the lower mintage or is this a non-issue?

EF details - cleaned or dipped

Not very diserable even with the lower mintage; still a fairly easy date to purchase

IMHO, this is not an AU coin, EF at best and cleaned. The 1833 is a slightly better date, but not much, if any premium. Hope that this helps.

I don't care for it.

45 I should think (details wise.)

XF45 details... Cleaned.

I think that the fact that the pics are actually scans has bigoted the previous posters about the cleaning. I know that it has most likely been dipped in the past, but I do not see a harsh or heavily hairlined cleaning from the OP's pics. The fact that they are scans diminishes the evidence of luster.

As to grade, I must disagree with everyone on that, as I believe it is an AU (although an AU-50 at most). If everyone will look at the comments I made in my book for the 1833's it will be seen that they always come weakly struck in the drapery and it takes very little wear to make it look like a lower grade.

I also think it is a relatively problem free example of the EDS B-1 and is scarce as such. The lower mintage listed for the 1833 date is really not consistant with the number of coins extant and this is a non-issue. The only issue for me would be price.

I like it!
