[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1465388, member: 21705"]In a departure from the norm, I'm listing a coin which looks above the usual AG to G grade. This is an unattributed 1796 S-82 listed as R5 in the Holmes sale and R4+ in Breen. It might even make the Condition Census of F-12 (EAC) if there are no condition problems which cannot be seen in the photo. The date is so strong that I first suspected retooling, but the STATES on the reverse is also very strong and leads me to believe it was just a slightly beveled planchet which caused strength on that side and weakness on the other. This may be the rare instance of a higher EAC grade than TPG grade depending on whether and how the beveled planchet is handled.
