Thoughts on a technical grade?

 

 

I won't ask about "eye appeal," as the example has obviously been cleaned.

The sharpness grade is EF, but the piece has been cleaned and would end up in a "genuine" or net grade holder. This was not an an AU coin before someone cleaned it and hairlined the surfaces.

XF details.

First off, I will say that I like this coin. But there are a few marks that would lead me to another that is comparable because of the very old gouges in the cheek and left field of the obverse, both high and toward the middle of the coin. That being said, I like it at net EF40.

Bill--what would this approximately "net grade" to?

XF details harshly cleaned. Given the severity of the cleaning, the coin would certainly not sell for more than VF money and might sell for less.

I would net grade it to VF-20.
