<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sambyrd44, post: 2173836, member: 26653&quot;]grade is a subjective opinion only and these 3 are all coins I like and the 2 I purchased already in a slab I bought for the coin inside and decided my own grade. The ANACS I submitted a decade or so ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1857 ANACS called VF30 it seems about right at 25/30 ANACS on circulated</p><p>type coins seems to be very consistent. I have a lot of the old small slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s858.photobucket.com/user/paulda1/media/57.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s858.photobucket.com/user/paulda1/media/57.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/ab149/paulda1/57.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>The 1858 small letters PCGS called it a VF25.&nbsp; I think it is closer to Fine and bought it as a Fine 15 on a good day maybe they would give it VF20 as a gift , VF25 is perhaps a little generous on this coin even more so considering the reverse.</p><p><a href="http://s858.photobucket.com/user/paulda1/media/58sm.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s858.photobucket.com/user/paulda1/media/58sm.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/ab149/paulda1/58sm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>The 1858 Large Letters PCI called VG8 I think its Fine 12-15 they were very tough on this coin.
