<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 367202, member: 2972&quot;]You guys pretty much nailed the grade on this one.&nbsp; AU 58 is what PCGS graded it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in-hand is a slightly different and darker color, and the color changes depending on the angle of the light (as much circulated copper does).&nbsp; There is high-point wear which is clearly visible in the photos.&nbsp; What&#039;s not so visible is the semi-prooflike fields and the luster on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think the coin is fairly graded, although I&#039;m not 100% sure the color is natural, and the circular toning on the obverse is a touch distracting, overall I am very pleased with the newest addition to my date set (otherwise it would have been returned).&nbsp; FWIW, it replaced this coin, which was in my collection for years:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/51504842/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/51504852/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now if I could only find a nice 1817, 1824 and 1825 to match the NEWP.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to all who guessed and provided their opinions on the coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; I appreciate it...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
