<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 149482, member: 2972&quot;]You guys were all pretty close on your grades.&nbsp; ANACS graded it VF 20.</p><p><br /></p><p>My thoughts on the coin are as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>The color and look of this coin is what first struck me to it upon seeing it the first time.&nbsp; The obverse is gorgeous, and the reverse is almost as nice.&nbsp; The obverse has nothing but wear and a few contact marks not distracting or out of line with the grade.&nbsp; The reverse does have a dig above E in ONE, and a disturbance along the rim left of 6 o&#039;clock, but again nothing that bothers me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I grade the coin choice VF 20, and I was happy to add it to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>An aside...</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look at the Heritage photos and my photos, side by side:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.heritagecoin.com/images/HNAI/75/411/411038029o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/64460068/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images.heritagecoin.com/images/HNAI/75/411/411038029r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/64460062/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some observations:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Heritage&#039;s pics of copper suck.</p><p>2) They often look significantly better when you get them in hand, provided you know what to look for.</p><p><b>3) Use this to your advantage in Heritage auctions.</b></p><p>4) Always have Heritage auction coins viewed for you first by a trusted third party, if possible. (FWIW, I purchased this coin from a dealer.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
