Can we get a close up shot of the date or possibly the entire coin?

 

Sorry, it is not available for additional photos at the moment.

 

I'd like to see some additional photos if you would, especially where it appears that there are two big digs in the coin or possibly planchet errors.

 

I see some wear on the shield based on your pics. I would have to say XF-45. Difficult to tell from the color of the coin in the photos if it was ever cleaned or not.

 

I was thinking solid AU-50.

The "WE" is stronger, and less shield wear, than an EF-45 IMO.

 

I think it was cleaned yes. But not real harshly and it's still a nice looking coin.

 

I hope you don't mind... I took the specimen and did some auto corrections in PhotoShop. Do these images more adequately reflect the actual color of the specimen?

Also, BTW, the background coloring of your images look a bit familiar... do you sell on ebay? :whistle:

 

While I sell some coins on ebay to feed my collecting habit, I am a collector only, not a dealer. I use the same user name on ebay as I do in this forum.

I brought this coin off ebay and the photo posted, is the photo off ebay.
The reason for no additional photos at this time, is that I was sending some coins into NGC for grading and decided what the heck, I will send this coin along with the package to assist me for future grading.

This a new series for me to collect and I believe this coin may be graded at EF 45 but I am a little concern if it been cleaned. I typically use "Photo Grade" and the "ANA Grading Standards" as my reference materials but having a NGC or PCGS graded coin usually assist me further, in honing my skills, imho. I personally find having a slab coin of a series an assistance to me for studying purposes.

 

When you have it in hand, snap a few photos and post. I'd love to see it :thumb:
