Newps in a problem-free PCGS holder. Grades/comments welcome. Thanks for looking!

VF 30- 35 hard to tell from photos. The spot beside the right wheat ear may be a future problem, I would have it looked at if it begins to grow or change color. There is a possibility of an old cleaning but cannot tell for sure in the photo.

35, bump for the key date. Has a lot of character, I like it.

I don't think that it would quite make an XF

Cleaned as heck but otherwise a very nice technical VF30-35 hole-filler.

I would say it has the value of a VF-35. It's not quite an EF-40 because of an old cleaning, but it would be hard to buy this piece for less than EF money, given the way grade-flation works these days. If it doesn't get flagged for cleaning, it sells for EF money easily.

 

The cleaning is not bad; it just gives the coin a sort of odd, two toned appearance.

[Kurtdog]

Were that anything other than a hole-filler, I don't know that it would have graded.

vf 35

VF 35 but I don't like the fact that it was cleaned. The contrast of the surfaces, b/c of the cleaning is not subtle and makes it very evident and obvious. The coin does have a solid strike, though.

[FishyOne]

I appreciate the comments. The spot next to the right wheat ear is on the slab. It graded problem-free VF35 and while it does have a old, light cleaning - there are no hairlines or signs of abrasive cleaning.

I like it. It is better than my F12 BN by NGC, that i had graded recently.

My dad bought if for me in 1964 when I was 16.

It graded problem-free VF35 and while it does have a old, light cleaning - there are no hairlines or signs of abrasive cleaning.

The market value overcomes that cleaning. It's always been that way with these better-date hole-fillers, even before market grading. It's just that back then with only technical grading we couldn't reconcile giving it a grade as easily.

Nice looking mark free coin.
