1842 Pocket Change?

[cameron12x]

This example has a big hit on the reverse and some minor rim dings...

 

 

But somehow I like it... Thoughts on a technical grade?

[Kamillion]

i would say F-12

[jerseycat10]

With disregard to any problems the coin may have, I think it is F 15.

[MBA101]

Circulated big coins like that have a tough time escaping being marked. Looks like a VG-10 or F-12 to me. But difference in value is squat so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[James_OldeTowne]

It's an easy VF-20 or better.

 

You can't go by the letters in LIBERTY on Seated dollars or 20-cent coins. Even a VF can have letters missing.

 

But the eagle's feathers have most of their original detail, indicating at least a VF level.

[Kurtdog]

I can't grade these, but I'm absolutely certain of this much, that coin would look very good in my pocket! (thumbs u

[jtryka]

I think it looks VF, but this is not my series...

[JOBESSI]

VF, the nick on the reverse looks pretty old, and matches the patina. Perhaps some old cowboy probably dropped it during a duel?

This is very true... I had this one at VF25 ...

 

Nice coin!

[michael]

another scarcer date and also usually weak strike and this coin is hard to get with great surfaces and eye appeal

 

i like this coin and i grade it solid middle range vf 25-30

 

not quite 30 but better than 25
