I just snagged the following coin and got a pretty good deal. What grade would y'all give it? Thanks as always!

This one is tough for me. In the pictures it looks bent and I believe that may have caused uneven wear.

If I were to try to assign a grade, I would have to say G4, details.

A memeber here once said that if you sneezed too hard, trimes bent. The one's previous owner must have had one heck of a cold.

Thanks but I am not always right! I am actually very interested in other's opinions on this one.

I am in the process of trying to build a trime collection but they can be very tricky to grade.

You're right a lot more often than I am, but then again..Everyone is.
And that sounds pretty cool. Are you looking for only high grade trimes to collect, or basically any of them?

Zack, your opinion counts as well! I realized my sentence did not come right - sorry about that.

I tend to prefer circulated coins (which is why I rarely put in an opinion on anything MS unless it is a Three Cent Nickel). In these I am shooting for XF to AU (but do have some nice examples of high VF). The later dates could post a problem though.

Well either way, I believe this coin is a G4. :p
And sounds like it'll be a great collection. Hope to see you posting about it in the forums eventually.
