Grade Me

Just picked up this little beauty. How do you think it grades? Looks like an N-9 to me based on the doubling around the 8 and the 4.

58 from the images.

 

55 or 58 at the top end. Nice LC

 

Strong 53, not a 58 IMO.

 

Too many nicks and not enough luster left for a high grade AU. AU-50 and a 45 would not surprise me.

 

XF45 IMO. Very beautiful piece though :thumb:

 

PCGS = AU 55 or 53
NGC = AU 58
EAC = XF 40 net.

The coin has a great deal of detail, and I see virtually no high-point wear. However, how's the luster.... Looks practically non-existent in the photos, and that's a bit disconcerting. The color is also a bit too uniform and suggests recoloring/retoning.

 

I'm thinking AU-50 and wonder about the color as well. Maybe just the image. I like it.

 

Leadfoot, you forgot INS
I think INS would give it a MS70RD

 

Isn't that wear, on top-right part of the ear and a few places on the hair, around the neck area? How can it possibly be AU when there is no luster at all, at least on these photos?

 

Looks to be a nice example of an XF-45. I think it is a N-9 R2.

 

I grade it 53 by those pictures. Nice looking coin, either way.

Looks like a doubled date as well.

 

I would say 55. Very nice Large Cent!

 

I bought off Heritage on Thursday pm, and have yet to see it, so can't comment on color. FWIW, it's "officially" graded by ANACS as XF-45. I thought it was AU-50.

 

Au55

 

55/58

 

I'd have to say Au-53.... Very nice piece!

 

You guys do realize Mr. Coin posted the grade?

 

Nope - and I would still call it an AU coin. This is the first I saw of the thread - then went to find his post. Nice coin no matter the grade.

 

I agree, Mark. That's why I guessed 53 a while back. Solid coin.
