It's white. Which explains the blue color as well as the apparent under exposure of the image by about a full stop.
I think if it graded, it would be FR-02+ possibly AG-03. **Photoshop tool tip: Use the Circular Marquee Tool and hold down the "Shift" Key while...
These older coppers are way out of my league. I have only gut instinct to go with. I would hazard a guess of XF-45 with a shot at AU-50 on that one.
I would agree with you.. The consistency with the previous PCGS grades was commendable, with of course the one exception.

Nice!! I have never checked for those. I need to start looking.
They are pretty and big!! [IMG]
Do you have a Mexican 50 Peso yet? Those are really cool and over an ounce. :) I think a lot of the older Mexican coins were beautifully...

Your images are really looking nice!! Nice pick up too. :)
