<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4883218, member: 66"]Overall, yes the restrike is much rarer, BUT the 1823 business strikes are rare in VF and above. It is fairly easy to find in VG or lower, tough in Fine. The restrikes on the other hand were not made to circulate, they were made to sell to collectors so they are rare below AU. So in XF and above the 1823 business strike is rarer than the restrike.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as grade, Sharpness of a F-12, Maybe F-15, rev shows some rim dents and a rim cut above A1, possibly some old corrosion at A2. Can't trust the color from the images, my guess would be a net EAC grade of VG 8 to 10.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
