Take a guess

Found this little gem earlier today. What do you guys think she's graded at?

I don't know about a grade but the reeds sure do look strange. Is that from wear?, cause the rest of the coin features look pretty nice

 

What is up with the denticles? The denticles look G but the coin looks AU-UNC.

(If only I could afford UNC seated coins...)

 

They come like that sometimes. It is a striking issue. See another one here: http://coins.ha.com/itm/seated-half.../131532-23129.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515

As for the OP's coin.... it is impossible to grade based on the pics. It could be anywhere from AU to MS-64.

 

MS63 if not details graded.

 

Yeah I'm not exactly sure why the rims like that but it's a fairly common on these. Best photos I can get.. such a small coin

 

How about XF45?

 

Very strange looking, I'll go AU-55.

 

Not much better but just took these outside..full on Sun light

 

AU details

 

MS 60

 

I'll stick to AU-50+

 

MS- 62

 

obv.
It's a Valentine #1 heavy compact date, high,
Curve top to 5,the 6 is course 185 especially compact ,
Tip of shield points to 1 . A peculiarity of the coin is the denticulations of the milling are NOT well struck up.
Rev. Medium lettering

 

62 . Denticles are pretty bad on a lot of these small coins , though this one they're extremely bad . I have a clashed 1857, 64 (my grade) where 1/2 the denticles are ok the other 1/2 weak .

 

No way is that a detailed coin. 56 and 57 have strike issues.
My 57 is off center strike. I be will to bet any one that this one is a MS coin. Any takers?

 

Good eye on the tone too. UnCommonCents two thumbs up!

 

Thanks for the rundown @Paddy54 !

I'll post the grade tomorrow.

 

I'll jump out of a tree and say MS64
At 1st glance I thought AU.....

 

from the first set of photos that's what I saw...if the second set is the same coin then I would go MS 63/64.
Like the title said "Take a guess" so I took one
