[dooly]

Hi all usual questions. is this gradable with the nicks.. approx grade and is there anything unusual about this coin.. thanks dooly

 

[ant]

color looks off to me but im def not good at large cents yet

[bsshog40]

I'm not good at cents either but if this color is right, doesn't look right for early copper that I've seen. It does have a pretty good rim nic also but I'm not good enough to say it would BB for it.

and is that verd/gunk in the LIBERTY?

[dooly]

I was wondering if this could be a die crack

[ant]

looks like it to me. but just a tad hazey on the photos. also is it slighly of center?

[dooly]

My guess is G-8 Plain 4 stemless and how do you tell if it is a Restrike ?

It is a plain 4 stemless (Cohen-13). I have no problem with your detail grade. I would probably net it to about G-4.

 

The 1804 restrikes you are referring to were cents not half cents. The tell-tale on them is that a reverse die from the matron head type ( from 1820) was used rather than the draped bust type of 1804.

Cheers for that (thumbs u

 

i am a right dosey barstuard .. about the restrike (well i am a Daft English man ) i tool the grade from my G-4 BN 1803 i have which shows no detail on the bust and guessed at the 8.. ? would it grade in your opinion ?

[okbustchaser]

would it grade in your opinion ?

 

Of course it will grade...You just got through grading it.

 

 

 

 

 

Now, if your question is really "Will it slab at a reputable company?" then my opinion is that it won't. It would probably come back as altered surfaces.
