Message:: [QUOTE="LMEintl, post: 969629, member: 26905"]This is an ungraded 1889 Carson City. It has beautiful red toning which the photo captures somewhat faithfully. The face has no deep scratches, and the rim suffers very little damage. The overall coin is worn and looks to me like it has never been cleaned. The photos are quite accurate and should give you a pretty good idea of how it looks. On the face side the ledt side of the coin seems less toned than the right, and I dont know if this means anything. on the reverse of the coin there are two little scratches on the lower breast of the bird. I also notice that the toning has a very distinct edge that runs across both wings. notice this below the "N" in "In God We Trust", where it almost appears that the toning has been worn off. Take a look. Again I dont know if this is significant. I also noticed in the photos that the right "C" in "CC" appears a little larger than the left one. Any ideas? That is all I notice on the coin, the rest is for you to decide from the pictures. I'm looking for an estimated grade and value for this coin based on individual collectors opinions. Thanks!
