karpman9-migration Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Just picked up my first three legger. I always wanted one. Will you play "guess the grade"and when playing please share with us the basis for your grade? No Cheating. Photos and coin courtesy of the amazing Mr. Michael Printz.

bsshog40 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I like it. I not good with the grades on these as to some have weak strikes. If this is a weak strike, I would say MS62 cause it looks to have a little rub on the Buff head. If not weak strike, then a very nice AU55.

dooly Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 who cares about the grade its a little blinder !!!!!! MS-63 (the magic grade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 doent matter what grade! that is a very nice buff! but i would say au55 due to wear on feathers where it smooths to background. and is that doubling i see on the word liberty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInFL Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 That coin looks like an AU 63 to me. Congrats on the 3 legger -- that's a coin I've wanted since childhood. Thanks for sharing...Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 AU50....see wear on both the Cheek on the Obverse and the buffalo's back on the reverse.....could be a AU55 but I certainly see more than a slight rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 That's a beautiful half cent, Mike, and karpman's three-legger is mighty cool, too. I won't guess the grade since I did that ATS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fhcoins-migration Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Nice Half cent! Refreshing to see one that appears unmolested. Great luster peaking from under the patina and no one has messed with the cheek trying to remove the wear and make it uncish. That coin with some work could become a 63 but glad someone has not done that. Great pick! The 3 legger I would call au55-58. Some rub on the bison but these guys come awefully weak even when new. Might go 58 since the detail is actually a little better than a lot of MS coins out there. Nice strike and looks like an honest coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
