Peckris Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 That is their higher grade "AU" but usually GEF if correctly graded (IMO).N-I-I-I-I-CE! That puts my 1903 halfcrown in the shade! Quote
Rob Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I've never seen a gEF AU58 even though they are supposed to be interchangeable. gVF to EF is about as good as they come. The problem stems from the fact that MS60 is never mint state unless you have a problem with your eyesight. Quote
VickySilver Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Rob, I will try to post the image, or at least where it can be seen. It was a Teletrade win as I said. In hand it is a VERY nice specimen (which I realise doesn't mean a lot, but will say it is amongst the best I've seen). Quote
VickySilver Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) March 19, 2002. Lot 2100.I tried to cut and paste but won't let me...I must say the pictures do not do it justice as the field surfaces are nearly reflective proof like (and no, not smoothed).

VickySilver Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Yikes, looks like the fields have been run over by a few cars in the pictures.... Edited January 5, 2014 by VickySilver Quote
RLC35 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Yikes, looks like the fields have been run over by a few cars in the pictures....Nice coin VS! The coloring of the coin really looks original to the early Bronze Pennies. Nice strike also! Quote

I'd rate that GEF at least. You have my sincere envy. Quote
