    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    AG-3. She's pretty slick and almost no rims left.

    Me too. Even without the detail the coolness factor is all there.

    3. I'd want at least one full rim for 4.

    A totally problem-free AG03+, so I'll say PCGS gave it a G04.

    Ditto. Nice attractive coin.

    I concur
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • braddickbraddick Posts: 24,830 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I agree with the AG3 grade.
    PCGS disagrees.

    I think PCGS gave it a bump because of the positive eye appeal since they use market grading.

    So much for grading from pictures, I'd have said 3 as many of us here did.

    If this die marriage had a weaker than optimal strike, especially if the die had shallow rims,
    I could easily see this going G-4, but my gut instinct was AG-3!
  • goldengolden Posts: 9,996 ✭✭✭✭✭
    If that is a 6,I am going to send in my 12 for sure lock on a 15.
  • BaleyBaley Posts: 22,663 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yep, that's why I said 3.6, sure STATES OF and a few stars are worn away. But those Original Looking Surfaces! are worth half a point at this grade level.

    I'd rather have this coin than an average, full rim "good" details coin with the average amount of "shining" over it's lifetime by loving collectors.

    this one gets credit for being left alone. I agree with rounding to 4 and bet you can even get Good 5 or better money for it when the time comes.

    nice piece

    Sorry, I think that AG-3 is almost pushing it. The date is readable, but it's not complete and the reverse lettering is worn well beyond just the tops of the letters. This is also a design that was boldly stuck for the most part with lettering that could hold up to circulation. That was not the case with the 1795 half cents and large cents which had delicate or missing lettering from the start. (e.g. the “Half Cent” in the cent of that coin.) In short this is a design that should not get any slack for strike issues.

    Why do you assume everyone that said AG3 is wrong?

    Jim the only one to nail it image I did think PCGS would agree with the simple, "no rims, no good" adage, am happy to see this, maybe some disparage market grading but since it's really an appraisal, better get used to coins like this, as well as beautiful MS coins with just a bit of rub on the high points
