Littleton grading

Great coin, and I think they went conservative on the grade.

I'll have to keep my eye on your site when you get them back. I haven't been seeing any lately that are decent

 

Yeah, that's a bit more like it. Don't underprice that one, man. Stonkin' strike, unmarred fields, top-end circulated FE.

 

Nice. That's whit I thought. Just the slightest rub away from ms. Nice coin

 

Decades ago, we warned collectors never to buy from the companies that had full page adds in numismatic publications. At one time Littleton was one of them.

Things have changed at this company. I am ignorant of their prices but in the last decade, every coin I have seen that was purchased from this company has been undergraded! For example, vintage silver coins and Silver Eagles in Littleton package bumped 2 grades at major TPGS's. The OP's coin is another. This was such a shock to me compared to the "old ways", that on two occasions I have called the company and complimented the type of material they were selling!

 

By the way, I didn't mean "fine" as a grade, just a sweet coin to behold.

 

Truthfully, I have always commented to people that Littleton may charge very steep prices for the stuff that they sell, but I have yet to see one that's overgraded.

 

Littleton grading...I thought everything was "Average Circulated"

 

Perhaps the Littleton Company is 'old school'? With maybe employing traditional ANA Standards of grading?

 

My gut feeling was AU-58, but your first pictures subdued the luster. Seeing the new pictures, it earns every point of that grade.
