Guess the grade on my 1903-S Micro S cherry from FUN!! :D

coinkid855 · January 9, 2012 12:19PM

Here are the only images I got of the coin before I submitted it to our hosts for grading. What do you guys think it'll grade?

Note: Sorry, these were taken with my phone, and that little piece missing from the reverse was just cut off from the picture!

Thanks guys!

Wow double clip reverse with a curve clip and straight clip!

AUandAG · January 9, 2012 12:35PM

That coin talks alot................'er maybe it's the phone?

One of the better phone pics but still not great. Oh, XF40 would be close.

VF35

rhedden · January 9, 2012 12:54PM

I agree with VF35, but XF40 would not surprise me. Great pick!

STONE · January 9, 2012 1:04PM

40

messydesk · January 9, 2012 1:25PM

That's a spendioso coin in XF. There's such a small difference in wear between 35 and 40 that I'll be they "date grade" it a 35. If you get a 40, which is what I'm leaning towards, then congrats! That's a tough coin to find without problems.

cmerlo1 · January 9, 2012 1:51PM

Nice pick! The best I've found is VG... I say EF-40.

donzme · January 9, 2012 1:56PM

I'll guess 45.

Thanks! I'm really hoping they give it that 40 for the eye appeal. It's a really nice pleasing coin.

I've previously found one other Micro s....in cleaned AG.

Not sure what the slab will say but the coin is a problem free EF-40, congratulations!!!

GoldenEyeNumismatics · January 9, 2012 2:14PM

Great pick! Probably a 35. Maybe 40

DennisH · January 9, 2012 2:16PM

XF40 (and $1700-$2000) with a shot at 45.

You qualify for a YOU SUCK!!

Woo! I certainly hope you're right! Finally, I haven't gotten a you suck in entirely too long!

dcarr · January 9, 2012 2:31PM

I think that is a very nice EF-40+.

Kove · January 9, 2012 5:45PM

My first thought was 35, but I hope you get a 40.

mkman123 · January 9, 2012 7:18PM

I like the dirty look!

greghansen · January 9, 2012 7:47PM

That's got to be a 40. Too good for a 35. If they hit it with a 35 tag, it will be one of the nicest 35's ever. I think its a better than average 40 and that's where it belongs. A very, VERY, nice find. Congratulations!

keyman64 · January 9, 2012 9:54PM

Nice job Paul! Knowledge is Power!

Gemineye · January 9, 2012 10:12PM

Extrmely Fine...45...............

LeeBone · January 9, 2012 10:32PM

<< I think that is a very nice EF-40+. >>

Sure an XF40

Would be xtra-cool to get a +

(with a slight chance a 45)

Keep us informed Paul

I recently got back from PCGS a 1878 8TF 14.8 which I don't think has as much meat as your coin and it was returned as a xf45. Cert # 24068591. Hopefully you'll get the same graders. In my case there is probably not that much difference between a 40, and 45. Hard to pin down a value. Good Luck!!!

ricko · January 9, 2012 11:06PM

I agree with 40... nice coin...Cheers, RickO

mbogoman · January 9, 2012 11:11PM

I'm in the 45 camp. Nice pick!

mightyhunter · January 9, 2012 11:17PM

I have owned both an XF 40 and XF 45 1903 Micro S $1 in PCGS plastic. My 45 was purchased raw. I think the coin you have is a 40 shot 45. Any luster still left on the coin?

Lakesammman · January 9, 2012 11:35PM

I bet they bump it for the variety - 45. Nice.

amwldcoin · January 10, 2012 12:09AM

If PCGS grades it like my 89-CC it's a 30!

joebb21 · January 10, 2012 7:05AM

40! and I second the the "you suck"!

coastaljerseyguy · January 10, 2012 8:52AM

I think it is a definite XF40 with a shot at 45 if it has any remaining luster. Nice hair details on obv., lower leaf a little weak and good separation of neck feathers from breast.

Justacommeman · January 10, 2012 9:20AM

nice snare!

Bah1513 · January 10, 2012 9:26AM

35............

coinkat · January 10, 2012 10:19AM

First- congrats

I cherry picked one years ago

This one is low to mid range 40- unless it looks significantly better in hand which is possible- not trying to be critical of the image. I would submit this one because it is a significant variety
