I bought this coin at a local coin show in 2021 as a filler for the type set because it came with a very low price. My intention at the time and still is to replace it with a better specimen, just haven't focused on that yet. I would love to hear your judgements on how you think the TPG graded this coin and if you think the TPG got it wrong or right. BTW, this is die marriage OC-2, an R-3 coin. Poll will close after two days. Have fun!
The coin is somewhat rough, but I see very little actual wear. I think it could go AU-50, depending on who graded it.
I haven't a clue what a grading service would say but there is slight wear on Liberty's gown so I think the coin is a XF-45. Not sure how the weaker stars and head detail was interpreted. james
Definitely has issues, but hey, it's a Seated Dollar. The obverse has XF sharpness, but the reverse is slightly more worn and combined with the damage/weakness on the shield, I'm thinking VF-35. I could see it being a point higher or lower depending on the grader.
I'd call it XF Details. There are a few different descriptors I could probably come up with, but I'm going to go with "Banged to Hell"
Eh, you are fully aware the coin has a lot of marks on it. And I'm (pretty sure) you won't get (too) offended if I make a bit of a joke at your coin's expense. I will say I like the color and originality of it, even if I'm not a fan of the coin overall.
Of course I don't mind. I was soliciting all comments and I fully expected more negative than positive. In fact, I wasn't expecting any positive comments. This coin is what the copper enthusiasts call "scudzy". I know it and knew it when I bought it. This GTG is more of a fun exercise to see what a TPG had to say about it.
Well honestly the only thing I do not like about the coin is the hit/wear on liberty at the shield. Other than that I like the coin. I still need one with Motto for my type set.
