Grading Guide for EF45

EF45 first photo example

   A very nicely struck coin with full, sharp wheat hair lines. The wear is confined to a small flat spot on the cheek and jaw, and some minor scuffing on the wheat grains on the reverse. This coin is also very clean and free of easily noticeable detracting marks. The only reason this coin does not make AU is that the cheek wear is a little too flat for the grade. The reason it exceeds EF-40 is because it has attractive eye appeal even through the uneven alloy mix apparent in the planchet (especially on the reverse).
