mklpatrick Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 3:39 pm I would put this at XF-40...if it did not have that huge scratch in it. I would like to get opinions from everyone on how far that scratch will drop its grade. Image: ihc1862o.jpg 42.58 KB Report this Post to the Staff

1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 3:51 pm It will get BB'd by NGC or PCGS. I'd give it VF30 details, scratched. Edited by 1sikevo 09/30/2008 3:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 3:54 pm Sadly, I agree with Wwhitman I cannot tell how deep those scratches are, but the grade's going down. While the TPGs will body-bags coins like this, they're still collectable to me. Report this Post to the Staff
mklpatrick Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 4:03 pm Yeah, Kurt, I agree...BUT I would probably rather have a rim ding here and there rather than this giant gouge across a prominent field on the obverse. It looks completely deliberate...that's what's so sad. It kinda reminds me of Fred Savage's mole in Austin Powers...can't...take...my eyes...off it...
