Grade a 1833 Bust Qtr

[Mr Bluster]

Notice the die clash under the ear. Could the die clash have caused the shield to be weak,

or is it just wear?

Maybe it is your photo but something does not look right about this coin .

I think it would grade VF 20 – 30 details .

Looks VF but you need better pics...

[Mr Bluster]

I took a B/W scan for the photo. That not saying that it could have been fooled with at sometime in the past.

How can you expect anyone to offer an accurate grade opinion if you post a black and white photo ?? Why would you not scan it in color ?

It is not too difficult to give an grade opinion on the coin from the image F12 to VF25 several did. I put the coin up to get opinions on the die clash. Did it have an effect on the shield? Were not talking a 63 64 65 grades. As far as my choice of using a B/W photo, the B/W resembled closer to what the coin looked like in hand. I tried the color image. The B/W was better. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It's a coin of VF-20 to 25 grade, and a die clash is not the cause of the weak shield. That shield detail struck on the coins accurately reflects the detail available on the actual die. They always look that mushy on this particular issue.

The die clash did not cause the shield to be weak. I believe MarkT would have prefered a color scan since color can play an important role in overall grade determination and analysis of surfaces.

It does not matter what the grade of the coin is, posting a B & W scan is not going to help anyone here give you an opinion on the coin . I have to say that if you need to use a black and white scan as apposed to a color scan you either need a better scanner of there is something seriously odd about the coins color
