    I want to see what people grade people would give this 1853 Half Cent, graded by PCGS.
    Sorry about the horrible pics. My camera has been acting up lately. :rollling: The prize for the person that guesses the right answer first is a 2010 Penny!

    Hard to see color and hits in this coin based of the pictures. Still a nice coin.

    Well that warrants a big question mark.
    The choices go from MS60-MS67BN.
    If the grade was lower, one would think coinmaster1 would've put lower grades in the choices for the poll.
    Pictures aren't great but they are good, from the pics my guess would be MS63, it really is a nice coin.

    Update!

    To those who haven't read my first post on this thread since July 27th, 2010 at 4:40pm don't know that a prize is now included for the first person to guess the right grade, a 2010 penny.:hail:

    I'd guess that your camera makes it look worn, so I'll go with 65 BN.

    Ahhh what the heck... I'll say MS62BN. It's obviously BN. Beyond that, I can't tell much.

    Excuse me, but I don't see where Mark H stated a grade. Sounds pretty fishy to me.

    Try looking at the poll. It is a public poll. Also, coinmaster1 states "NOTE: IF YOU DON'T VOTE IN THE POLL, YOUR VOTE DOESN'T COUNT!!"
