Guess the Grade: Seated Liberty 25c

Got this totally free with my eBay bucks and sent it to PCGS. Should make for a fun GTG.

Hmmm.........


Nice looking coin.

I think either AU-58 or
Unc details. I'm not sure if those marks are cleaning scratches

 

62, many hairlines, I don't see rub. I like it, especially for free!!

 

The hairlines are really throwing me off. They certainly don't look like cleaning marks to me. Either poorly handled in the past or stored with other coins in a box or something. My guess would be MS-62+ The devices have really nice looking luster. I'd be a really happy owner of this for free. I'd even pay a dollar for it. LOL

 

I'd pay CBD two dollars for it and I'd spring for shipping just so he can make a profit on this!

 

Guess I'll pass. But next time I'm digging for change at Taco Bell, I know I'm gonna regret it.

 

Coulda got you a double decker taco supreme!!

 

No, I'm a "Breakfast Defector".

 

61. I was going to say 58, but I can't put my finger on a luster break. Maybe the eagle's knuckles. Lots of "cabinet friction," though. Outside chance at a QT just because, but I think it graded.

 

I'll say 58. Looks like it's already in a PCGS holder though

 

62. At first glance I thought it was a proof.

 

That's what I was kinda thinking as well. Hence the 62+ because of the proof like appearance. I'm standing firm on MS-62+ and will go balls to the wall and offer $5.00 plus my eBay bucks balance!!

 

I'll offer $10 plus jtlee321's eBay bucks balance!

 

I think this coin has been cleaned and is going to come back as UNC Details. There are just too many hairlines to justifiably put that in an MS holder. If it grades, due to color and series and such, I will say AU-53/55 range, but I still think it has too many hairlines, at least for my taste and what someone will want to see on the outside of the holder.

 

Oh man, this is a toughie. The only seated liberty I sent in was cleaned by me. It came back AU. So my thought is that this had an old cleaning and was graded AU58.

 

I'll go $15.00 plus your eBay Bucks balance!!

 

I think my 4 cents expired a couple months ago.

 

Au cleaned. See some wear I believe in hair, possibly on cap

 

My guess is that NGC called it a 62, and that it will cross at 62 at PCGS
