Hi everyone, I received a scanner for christmas so I thought I'd give it a try. Bought this today, thought it looked vf35 to xf40. I wish I could take more consistent pics with my digital because it captures lustre where the scanner dulls everything. There appears to be traces around the stars both obverse and reverse.

I would lean toward VF, but I'm not a skilled grader and I have a habit of being cautious out of fear of overpaying.   01-20-2006, 02:30 PM   #3 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,528 I would say VF20/25. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   01-20-2006, 03:55 PM   #4 (permalink) bigred1001 Junior Member   Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Michigan Posts: 15 If someone is able to post a link, go to heritage, and there is a 1912-s NGC XF40. I dont see much difference at all between this coin and the one I just bought. After looking at NGC certified VF35 coins, I think this one shows a little better details.   01-20-2006, 07:22 PM   #5 (permalink) Just Carl Numismatist   Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 4,474 Nice coin. I also think about XF. However, I like your scanner better than the coin. If it dose that good, you don't really need your camera.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
