I see the coin in a slab (possibly older PCGS) so lets assume it is not whizzed. That means we are seeing luster all over the coin. The luster would be broken if that were wear on the high points. Therefore, let’s assume it is weak strike & not wear. With all these assumptions, the coin in the photo might be MS63. It’s just a guess. Very best regards, collect89 __________________ "All of us are smarter than any one of us"   05-29-2009, 10:18 AM   #10 (permalink) ldhair Coin Collector     Join Date: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,701 I'll go 64. You can polish the slab and get rid of most of that. __________________ Larry   05-29-2009, 10:54 AM   #11 (permalink) mralexanderb Coin Collector     Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 2,124 My Mood: My eyes hurt trying to see through the scratches on the plastic. IMO, if that's wear on the eagles breast I'll go with AU 50. It's a very nice coin with great color.

It looks like there are some luster breaks on the high points but it could just be the lighting. __________________ The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   05-29-2009, 11:01 AM   #13 (permalink) 900fine doggone it people like me     Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 4,321 My Mood: Here's what jumped out at me : nice luster obviously circulated weak strike, particularly reverse (very little detail on the wreath veggies) probably heavily lapped reverse die, based on weakness / shallow relief of ONE CENT I'm thinkin' AU50. Maybe XF45. __________________ www.900fine.com   05-29-2009, 12:35 PM   #14 (permalink) Leadfoot Numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 5,896 My Mood: 900fine, do you have any XF FECs you want to sell?   05-29-2009, 03:40 PM   #15 (permalink) mralexanderb Coin Collector     Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 2,124 My Mood: Danr, So!!!
