<p>[QUOTE="Robert Ransom, post: 4401657, member: 97872"]Therein lies the problem. Had you examples of both Low relief (hard definitive lines between the points of the star running to the center) and High relief (radiused valleys between the star points running to the center) the issue would be clear for those two coins. However, the problem of identification becomes muddied when coins are 'similar' to High relief, but the valleys are not solidly defined. Some TPG gradings of High relief coins caused me to blink, I do not consider myself an "Expert" on High/Low identification, but I have seen many, many auction result pics. that have me scratching my head at the slab indicating 'High relief.' I would check the auction results and determine whether you believe you have a valuable coin. The decision for having it graded is then up to you.</p><p>Your coin sure looks like a Low relief. How about those pics. I asked for?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
