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!

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.

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).

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).

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!

looks a bit better than your typical AU58.

Very very nice indeed! I'd rate that GEF at least. You have my sincere envy.

That's a steal Vicky, and a really nice coin! About 1/100th the price of the UNC example in the recent London Coins auction!
