VF details; the surfaces look unnaturally glossy to me.

Not sure what happened there, sorry for the multi post.

 

VF 20

 

I don't see any luster remaining on this piece, with the exception of possibly deep within the eagle's feathers. I'm going out on a limb and call it VF-35.

 

EF-40 just to be different. I think, if it was messed with, that PCGS let it slide and straight graded it.

 

I'd say vf-30. Though it looks as if its been cleaned. Nice 1798 though!

 

My grade? VF details, cleaned. I have zero tolerance for obviously-cleaned coins in straight holders.

TPG grade? VF-30.

 

VF20

 

vf30? looks like old wipe/cleaning

 

30

 

Sometimes they get pretty lenient on these older coins - I will swag VF30.

 

Xf cleaned

 

I'd wager it straight graded. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. 35. I would be happy to give it a home. Or ANY bust dollar, regardless of condition.

VF30, most of these reside in straight graded holders whether they have been cleaned or not.

 

Sorry guys.

It was PCGS VF20. @C-B-D pointed it out to me. Nice coin. Ended up not buying it for a few reasons, one of which was the price.

My question for you guys: is it *really* and TRULY a VF20? If so, why? If not, why not?

Seller's comments:

"This gorgeous coin has moderate wear, charcoal grey surfaces and eye appeal and pizzazz to spare. An exceptional coin in every way that could have easily graded a few points higher any other day. Conservatively graded and certain to please, with lovely original color. Housed in a 2nd generation PCGS slab back when the grading standards were much more strict. This is the way they are supposed to look. A wonderful type coin for the collector. Certain to please the fussiest buyer. Worthy of a CAC sticker."​

 

I think it's a VF30 but lowered due to cleaning. I bet it wouldn't CAC in a million tries.

 

Cleaning or not I love this coin. Just great eye appeal for the wear level IMO
