GTG IHC newp

This will be a "Give the Grade," not "Guess the Grade" because it's not slabbed.

Newp from yesterday's Gettysburg show. I'm ambivalent about grade because some areas say one thing and others say another. Yes, I noted the rim ding; the price rather compensated for that. What do you think?

Au 50?

 

38.5 , not enough separation at the ribbon for me to give it a 40

 

One of my favorite designs, and as such I tend to be generous. XF45 until the conservative experts arrive. Very nice coin.

 

VF 20 is my initial thought. Maybe 30. I dont think it makes XF in my opinion.

 

VF35. A nice coin

 

Full LIBERTY and only hints of diamonds... hmm... XF40 maybe?

 

I have to disqualify myself as I know way too much lol. Having seen this coin in hand. But I will say I would of pulled the trigger on it for sure.

 

I would say XF40

XF40 is generous.

 

This is a tough one. The details that remain are pretty sharp, which makes me think part of the problem is a weak strike. Which in turn makes me want to assign a higher grade. From the look of it, it appears to be a VF35 - XF-40. But for as clean as the fields are and how sharp the denticles are around the rim and the details remaining in the lower protected areas, I lean towards XF45 - AU50 weak strike. In the end without seeing it in hand I think I would assign it an XF40+. Of course this is all on gut feeling as I don't know a whole lot about copper.

 

xf 45 in my opinion

 

xf 45 in my opinion

 

XF40 weak strike.

 

I'll have to up my grade taking into consideration that it could be a weak strike. I just don't know enough about these I guess. I'll settle on XF40.

 

So you guys obviously see my dilemma.

I'm looking at the ribbon and seeing the hair right below it almost flat, and thinking a weak strike and about XF40.

 

I thought I saw some metal flow in the feathers, Therefore the higher Grade. Nice IHC.

 

Haven seen the coin in hand and knowing what it was graded by the seller I have to say xf . condition . And as said more so a weak strike then wear. I think it's a sweet example of an 1861 IHC.
And will add it's color and conditions tell me it was circulated but we'll kept example of a civil war era coin. Nice for what Dave gave for this coin.

 

45
