I think it's a 65 and well struck for a Cu-Ni. Full feathers and very close to full diamonds with only a couple of small ticks noticeable. Nice...
Here's one for your July 4th pleasure. PCGS PR-62. This is the one-year only Paquet Obverse half-dime, only struck at the Philadelphia mint....

EAC published the "EAC Grading Guide for Early American Copper Coins" in 2014 (cover photo below). The gist of the grading system is, as quoted...
That has certainly been my experience. Regardless of the EAC grade and the TPG grade, the price is the same. That assumes that there is not a...
EAC as a club/group/institution, does not grade anything or provide grading endorsements and there is no implication that is the case for...
You did mean a two drink minimum, didn't you?

Yes on the bean. I think it shows a little too much reverse wear for a 55 but for market grading I am sure it's a solid B or A 55 or better due...

My impression as a collector is that the "no L" is a little scarcer. On the topic of the grade, everyone here that proffered a grade said it was...
My grade is 40-45 but I think it slabbed 53.
I think it is 65 RD. But, the pictures are fuzzy and even blowing them up I cannot tell if there are high-point luster rubs on the obverse, which...
Yes to the bean
I got in late to this one but I was going to say 58 with a very weak strike on both obverse and reverse. I have a 1857 graded AU58 (see...
I gave it a 6, primarily because of the rim bumps/dings on the reverse. Not a problem for me in the grading of the coin but this is a subjective...
I'm going with 58 not FH. I see the same luster rubs as others. Did it market grade higher?
Gave it a 9. Like the CircCam look and this coin has very few distractions for the grade and what it is.
@kanga, don't we have enough regrets at our age? I see this as mostly a non-issue since it is apparent there was no intent to deceive. But, the...
