I've got this coin as a G-4. Where would you grade it? Any and all comments are appreciated.

Yes that seems right. I would go with G 4. The rims on the back aren't full but they are on the front so I'd say so.
I presume you are going to sell this one?

If the reverse rims were stronger, I'd say G6. Yep, G4.

The uneven wear pattern on the reverse may indicate a slight bend, but still a G-4.
Rest in Peace

I'm not extremely familiar with this series. When I first looked at it I gave it a G4 obverse with an AG3 reverse. Then I pulled out my ANA Grading Standards & my Photograde. Both said it was ok for some letters on the reverse of this date to merge with the rim.

I'll see if I can dig up a piece of glass to set it on to check for a bend.
