Im saying MS-64. It does look like a RPM, but i would need a clearer picture of the mintmark and bigger pics of the coin to determine the VAM
Id say XF-40. My example is VF-30 and yours has a bit more detail in the hair than mine.
Yeah the surfaces arent original but not the first seated liberty I have seen like this that has straight graded
What he said ^^^
Nice lookin coin. From what i can tell, it does have the appearance of a rusted die or pitted die. Are they all raised bumps?
Good point
Ouch
I was just gonna say, with those steps, you better hope it isnt a proof lol
Some people just say a number... you're makin' us look bad;) Just kidding. You make me want to change my guess sometimes though lol.
Whaaat?:eek: You mean people actually collect them for their history?! And here I thought they were special cause some Johnny Reb dropped the die...
No problem. F-12 and VF-20 was my first reaction but I like to give a little room for error just is case im way off or something.
The second pic is better. I think I would stick with my original grades. How does the right one compare to your PCGS one?
Well define rare? There are quite a few of weak D's and even no D die pair 2's out there. If you are asking if they hold a premium? Yes usually....
Up to you. There are other Lincoln guys on here better than me at grading, see what they have to say as well. I think im pretty close with my...
Looks AU cleaned to me. Older NGC holder(??) probably says AU50.
Well maybe it is a die pair 3. I cant say for sure, but use the site I linked and compare the die 3 diagnostics to yours and see if they match up.
Left one looks F-12 Right one looks F-15 to VF-20 maybe Pics are kinda dark, and I cant tell what is wear and what is crappy strike lol
No, im asking you, is the reverse rotated slightly from the obverse? That is one of the die diagnostics of die pair 3
From the O in ONE it shows the spread like what die pair 3 has. However, TRUST is worn, so i cant tell if it is sharper than the rest of the...
Psh. Give me an 1861 O half with a, certain, die crack any day of the week
