jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 01/16/2025 2:49 pm I brought a few $2.50 indians to a local coin dealer to offer for sale. They said they were all xf. Sent to pcgs and grades came back between ms-61 and ms-63. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by jimbucks 01/16/2025 5:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

But the difference between the Mint State and an XF should be readily identifiable to anyone. Congratulations on your results from PCGS! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
