jtryka Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Here is grading challenge #3, the last of this short type set, an 1835 Classic Head Half Eagle. Guess the grade and provide your reasons and I will let you know the opinions of two separate grading companies later in the week. 1835 Obverse 1835 Reverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Details of an XF-40 coin. If there is luster remaining, which I can't tell from the pic but I suspect there is, it may go as high as XF-45 but no higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 VF35 or EF40? I may be low, though, as I don't know the design very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well, gpnyc seems to have a knack for this! This coin was initially graded by ICG as EF-40, I then submitted it to NGC as a crossover in the ICG slab and they upgraded it to EF-45, which means little to me, since I am rather old school and XF is just XF. It is a very nice original example that I bought raw off eBay about 4 or 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
