It looks pretty clean, I'd say mint state looking at the rims. But you never know what's hiding under a scan. Given all of the above, I'd venture to say it's a 63 RD, but I don't feel very confident at all in my assessment.   07-10-2009, 03:17 AM   #4 (permalink) illini420 1909 Collector     Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Calabasas, CA Posts: 1,492 My Mood: Looks like a scan so that usually hides a lot of the luster. If that's true, I'd say 64RD __________________ My 1908-S Indian Head Cent Grading Set http://tinyurl.com/bbzy8y My 1909 Mint Registry Set http://tinyurl.com/dj7nbg   07-10-2009, 09:31 AM   #5 (permalink) kanga 50 Years and Still At It     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 2,924 My Mood: Enough marks, particularly on the obverse, to keep it to a 63. Rim at 9. Shoulder. Hair and behind the head. But the real killer is whatever is happening on the rim at 1 to 2.

The rim damage is what will take it down.   07-10-2009, 10:09 AM   #8 (permalink) kanga 50 Years and Still At It     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 2,924 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by pjh008 I agree with kanga but maybe a 60. The rim damage is what will take it down. Actually if that IS verdigris on the rim it would probably be body bagged by the TPGs. If so, then any grade is moot. Take a look at my Lincoln in the "Any Hope for This Coin?" post. Same problem. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member Be yourself ... everyone else is already taken.   07-10-2009, 03:06 PM   #9 (permalink) Leadfoot Numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 5,896 My Mood: Oh, I missed that!
