Nice condition of coin, would grade it F - VF.

Honestly, it looks like crud in the G and the rim appears to have taken a hit.

only crud is the photos-- gray dreary day--- G is filled & D is tiny CUD. if sun shows will reshoot. looks real thing at 40X mag

better shot in daylight. note the lump enclosing gap in G and full copper leg on left side of D to the rim. not a "rim hit"

Nice condition of coin, would grade it F - VF.

details of the coat, hair, ear, jaw, chin, fields, rim, seeds, stalk tips, red/brown color, original mint luster, and all devices are minimum AU---- lived in a jar for many years ---- then got adopted by Loomis to be boxed and sent to NY

PEA: look carefully at the Wheat Ears on the left side, half way down, a few of them are worn down into each other, takes it out of AU class, maybe VF the best.

for those in doubt--- Cudsoncoins, 1c-1957D-#04.

I'm not doubting anything. I know nothing about coins as a collector. I just a simple detector guy that loves to dig holes in the ground.

This coin would never grade at AU. Just look at the wear on the obverse. It is higher than VF but definitely lower than AU. I would place the grade at EF.

I'd like to hear Enamel7's assessment of the grade, since he's a serious Numismatist as well.
