Grade thoughts on this 1893

Not my coin but based on these pics will she make AU-50 you think?
Personally I think so. At least based on the pics.

I think AU50 is a fair grade to give the coin. It would be better than AU50 if there weren't those dings on the obverse though IMO.

 

Agreed, I think I see an (S) .

 

@Morgandude11 curious your thoughts

 

It should be an AU 50, but just barely. There is a lot of wear in the high places. On any given day, it could grade XF 45 just as easily.

 

Looks pale as a corpse in those pics.

 

That is why I think it should probably be XF 45.

 

I think rigor is about to set in. This thing looks dead.

 

Hmmm, I was thinking AU-53

 

Too much wear in the hair for a 53.

 

I agree

 

Knowing how there pics look I think it’s probably nicer than the pics indicate but they have return privy if not . It’s AU 50 money though so that’s my main concern. It’s tough to find a decent one though that’s not more than I care to spend anyways

 

It's a candidate for a details grade based on those pics, is what I'm saying. Whether it's EF45 Details or AU50 Details, just be aware, it may have issues grading sraight-away.

 

It’s possible most there photos look like this on there eBay store and there website , I think the picture quality may make it look flat they list a ton of stuff and are very reputable. That said though it’s possible as it’s not in my hand so I don’t really know haha. The last coin from them the pictures where similar but the coin was nice with good natural color .

 

My first thought was XF-45. It may even be as low as a 40. I think AU-50 is high.

 

Look at the description in your Red Book for AU and XF. No way is it an AU due to the eagles feathers. That’s why I’m at a XF-45. And the XF-40 is a bit low but it depends on the grader.

 

With that keep in mind not all coins are struck equally though I think it’s AU-50 I also think it’s borderline XF-45

 

My first thought was XF45. It’s a better date so that might push it to AU50 if the grader is having a good day but I’d call it a 45.

 

1893 Philly’s aren’t normally weakly struck.

 

No not all but quite a few are and this one appears to be
