SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/24/2009 4:54 pm Wonderful toy. Strictly graded, I cannot quite reach AU50 for it because of the wear on the wings, but I suspect TPG market grading would put it easily into an AU50 slab. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/25/2009 01:41 am I agree with everyone's statement here. When I bought the coin off ebay, I overgraded it a little bit based on what I saw in slabs, and based on the fact that I hadn't seen a coin this PQ in quite awhile. In hand, the wear on the wings is much less obvious, I'd grade AU50 or AU50-. In person, the coin is absolutely STUNNING. Not to gloat or anything, I just haven't had a coin this nice in a lonnnnnnng time. But I'd net grade this coin at least an AU-55 in terms of eye appeal. This is one of those ones I don't think I'm ever going to give away, even if I end up with a proof because I win the lottery or something. I paid $190, by the way. After I got the coin, I knew I really got a deal. Report this Post to the Staff
