So I am trying out my new USB Plug-In magnifying camera. Let me know how the pictures look.

Also, what's the grade? Someone wrote on the coin holder VF, long ago.

if its real it probably would not grade due to ED and polishing

Thanks so much. Is "polished" different from "whizzed" (which I believe is the same as "buffed")? Might this coin be whizzed?

For estimated value, I found a site that gives this coin a value of $180 in VF. How much would the "polished" detail generally reduce the value to sell?

Whizzed means to use a mechanical wire brush to shine a coin. Polished could be mechanical or by hand using different methods.

For estimated value on a details coin there is no straight line to arrive at value as there are a lot of variables. Ballpark reduction for a details coin around 50%.
