NGC graded this one. I apologize for the poor photos on these grade guess threads. It was the best I could do with the lighting at the bank.
I have absolutely no experience with this type coin but I'll say XF. Its a beauty. Are they exspensive? Allen
I would grade it AU55 - at least in your pictures the stains look distracting. And NGC gave it a AU-58. Very nice coin.
Budgood, what program did you use to do that? That is incredible! It looks much more like the coin actually does in hand now.
If that is just an area of hazing on the slab instead of wear on Miss Liberty's hair above the LIBERTY Crown from the "B" to the "Y", then I will say MS-63/64BN! If it is wear, then I will say AU-58BN! Is the coin also a Bearded Lady Variety? Frank
Just the best darn program thats user friendly & free - Google,s Picasa . Download it & you will be amazed at what you can do & how & where you are able to access your photos.
That is a beautiful coin you have there! thanks for showing it to us. Classic head cents with that kind of planchet quality are not common, as copper collectors know. Viewing through the plastic i would grade at least AU58. Possibly higher. Eduard
I'm no copper guy, so I'll guess xf45, but au-55 if there is more luster than visible in the photos. A really nice looking example of a final-year-of production.
Appears to have light wear on the reverse and I'd say 58. But it sure wouldn't surpise me a bit if NGC said MS63.
NGC graded this coin ms-61. It is very nice for the grade in my opinion and exhibits a good bit of luster.
