<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1586132, member: 2972&quot;]Eduard,</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, obviously, I did mean 1821.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>To answer your question:</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was graded XF 45 by NGC.&nbsp; CAC agreed with the grade and gave it a green sticker.</p><p><br /></p><p>EAC grade is probably quite a bit lower due to the fact that they tend to focus on details on the coin, rather than the amount of wear.&nbsp; I&#039;d guess they&#039;d probably net it out to something like a 20 or 25.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s actually an interesting coin to grade for me, because it really does not have a lot of circulation wear, but was weakly struck and never had the details to begin with -- and this is an instance where you&#039;ll find a greater than normal divergence between TPG and EAC grades.&nbsp; The TPGs seem to take into account luster (which is actually quite good on the coin) and as-struck details rather than just looking at the details and assigning a grade based on that (like EAC or techincal or ANA grading do).</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, and not that anyone is asking (lol), I TPG grade the coin 40, EAC grade the coin 25, and value it a touch over $1k. I bought the coin at Teletrade, of all places.</p><p><br /></p><p>And you&#039;re right -- that date is not easy to find that nice.&nbsp; Not as hard as the &#039;23, but much harder than most would guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take care...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
