1919 what do you think this would grade at

[Guest]

hope you can tell by this pics .im having a hard time getting the true color of the coin. it is brown with hints of red and it's very will struck just has a little black something down by the date i have no ideal what it is and i don't want to wipe it
so what do do you think a possible grade would be

im going to send it in if you think it could go ms/unc to dgs

thanks

Pretty nice coin there CO, but would like to see the reverse as well and the pics a little larger. The contrasted toning is deceptive looking in the pic. But, based on what I see, I think it will get a high AU or perhaps a low MS grade. Overall range AU58/MS62
Good luck with it.

I would go with AU-50/55 from the obverse photos.

With a professional grading service - 'no grade' because of the corrosion.

As a collector coin it would net grade to EF because of the same damage.

Only if you forget the damage would it grade AU.

It's definitely not MS.

And all this is guessing that the reverse is not damaged and shows equal wear to the obverse.

Yep...I knew I should have gone with my first impression/thoughts about it, but retyped the reply instead. I'm definately not a practical grader.

AU details for sure. I'm not sure about cleaning or corrosion.

That is a bold venture. I know because I am trying to get all mine in XF or better. For the varieties I just want nice examples. The 1917 DDO and the 1922 Plain are not easy to find in XF (of course you wrote VF 45 so maybe you meant VF?).

Are you trying to get them all certified too?

[shameless]

brad yes im still learning the lingo xf fv ect just 45 and up.grading is not my thing
all the stuff i have i have found in searching . so what im doing is trying to get all the stuuff graded and then fill in the holes ill have to sell all the doubles and triples of stuff like i have found 2 1917 ddo one graded vg8 so ill probably have to sell both and try to find one xf45 and so one
so i fill your pain ha ha

thanks co

and yes im getting everything graded by dgs i really like there service and im not looking to sell the stuff that im keeping(im going to leave it for my daughter)

Good luck. Like I said...bold venture. Have a look at the 22 plain prices in XF. Ouch.
