<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26232837, member: 101855&quot;]Here is the 1802 Large Cent which graded PCGS MS-63 CAC, Brown and only AU-55 according to EAC. The reason I know that grade is because it among the top ten pieces in the condition census for Sheldon number 232.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1675452[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1675453[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The luster in the fields is 100% there with no breaks. If you use a 10X glass on the face, you will see some dulling. The question is, what caused the dulling? Is it a very light rub, or is it because the die was not filled 100% when the coin was struck?</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, an EAC dealer will not sell this piece to you for AU-55 money or anything close to it. And, even if the face is rubbed the coin is an EAC AU-58 all day long on my opinion. So far as grading goes, it should be something like an EAC MS-61 at a minimum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
