GTG, 1814 E/A CBH

I would guess 35 as well but agree with others- It seems like they usually err on the side of caution with these, but it would be cool to see it in an XF holder.

VF-25

 

I'll go with 40. Nice looking coin.

 

This one only got a 35.

 

I dabble little with CBH's, but I do know that this particular variety (1814 A/E) is particularly tricky due (I believe) to striking weakness.

Somebody in this forum who seemed to know his way around CBH's graded my example a VF20, so, based on that I am saying the OP coin is at least VF35, or EF40.

Rats! Can't we have a limit of 2 or 3 pages of guesses. I'm a cat a curiosity kills a cat. Thanks for your coin. I only did this, so I can keep up with this thread.

 

Nah, I think this one's got it beat: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gtg-1922-d-lincoln-wheat-cent-theres-gonna-be-a-fight.347290/

 

XF45

 

You got robbed. Resubmit. A VF coin should not have ANY toning left due to circulation.

Just my opinion.

Do you mean luster?

The toning occurs after the coin has been taken out of circulation and is then stored in paper/wood/etc.

The luster is worn down during circulation. A VF coin may still have traces of luster; VF is usually based on the level of wear. The difference is an EF coin *must* have luster.

I do agree that Larry's coin is undergraded, but it's not because of the luster or toning - it's because the level of wear doesn't look like a VF coin.

 

I too am at low MS or possibly high VF. Thanks for the post.

 

it is in a straight graded holder. I have also looked at it closely under a point source light and don't see any signs of a cleaning.

 

You should send it to @CBD to resubmit it. He probably would pull an AU something on it....

 

XF40 is just a guess on my part. I have no experience with this series at all.

 

Well what's the grade!?

 

VF35...?
