[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 6296273, member: 19250"]Razz I agree with your assessment of this specimen as I yield to your knowledge of the series. I am not a collector of this series so to speak, coppers have never been a strong interest for my collection. However I learned many years ago how to grade coins and what to look for as signs of wear. The wear on the cheek is the first thing that caught my eye,also on the wheat on the reverse. The rim dings . There's no doupt this coin was hammered nice strike, however to my eye the coin has been cleaned retoned or has had damage and someone tried to disguise. My post is to call out those who give wrong information on a subject they know little or none. To those who came off with MS assessments why dont you put up the money to send this specimen in and have graded? Giving a member hope of the coin reaching an impossible grade,and that person spending good money only to have the specimen come back as a detailed Au is just WRONG! Allowing them to believe that a nice $5 coin is worth spending $50 to have graded is wrong! I agree with your call and only like to hear your assessment of what is going on in the obv. Fields as well behinde the neck. Thanks in advance Paddy[/QUOTE]
