<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 1930483, member: 22271&quot;]Without better photographs, it is hard to grade it. Using the <i>Grading Guide for Early American Copper Coins</i> <a href="http://www.eacs.org/GradingGuide/GradingGuide.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.eacs.org/GradingGuide/GradingGuide.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.eacs.org/GradingGuide/GradingGuide.html</a> and just looking at the hair over the ear would imply an EAC&nbsp; VF-30, but looking at the stars and the dentils alone would indicate a F-12 grade (details only at this point.).&nbsp; The reverse photo (on the eBay link) was unusable (insufficient resolution) for grading purposes.</p><p>I wouldn&#039;t give the coin a net grade at this point because the photos were lacking in detail. If you want to see what a truly good coin photograph should look like, look at any of the Goldberg <a href="http://www.goldbergcoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.goldbergcoins.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.goldbergcoins.com</a> images. If you can post better pictures, I&#039;d be happy to give it another try.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
