<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numan, post: 489774, member: 13259&quot;]So Mark, and others, help me here.&nbsp; If you think it shouldn&#039;t have graded an AU50 and I thought it should be an AU55, help me see the differences.&nbsp; I started my thought process at a 40, working with the ANA Grading Standards Guide, which I don&#039;t really find too helpful with large or half cents -- I too saw the heavy wear on the hair under the Liberty crown and on the curl by the ear, the wear on the stars, etc, but having looked at several coins slabbed in Heritage auctions reference, which were graded AU and even Au55, this was every bit as clear as those coins, perhaps with the difference of the dings in the field (maybe this is what I underrated?).&nbsp; Getting this right is important to me since I am collecting copper and don&#039;t want to over/under grade, and I find the pictures with coppers very difficult to really evaluate from coin to coin.&nbsp; So perhaps some of you can take me to school on this one.&nbsp; Thanks... </p><p>Grasshopper[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
