The coin above is graded in AU58 condition, and obtained this grade due to minor wear on the obverse and reverse. In specifics, this is on the knee of liberty, and the belly of the eagle. I do want to note that the strike is relatively on the shield of the coin, which is not wear like it might appear to be. This is the same case for liberties face.Welcome to another round of Guess the Grade Coin of the Day. Below is an image of a PCGS graded half cent from 1797 (image courtesy of Heritage Auctions)!

Other than that, there are various small contact marks across the coin, which is why the coin is graded in MS67 condition. Keep in mind that oftentimes heavy toaning, such as that on the above coin can hide some of these marks which does affect the grade.Welcome to another round of Guess the Grade Coin of the Day.
