I am more interested in how to grade this coin than I am of the actual grade itself. I have three other coins from this period which I'd like to grade as well, so any information you could provide would be most beneficial to me.

How much does the pin hole effect grade? And/or value?
Thank you all very much.

I found out the hard way that ICCS does grade tokens different than business strikes,
had a token I would have graded easy as a MS62+..... NOT a mark, crisp strike, clean..nothing....came back a 55..
when I asked why... was told: we grade these differently.... no other reason.
NO MORE ICCS

That is a good thing to know, and obviously something they won't be putting on their business cards soon.
Thanks for the warning.
