Phaedrus29 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 11:43 am This is a coin I'm planning to sell from an inherited collection. How would you grade it? Any descriptors I should include in listing the item? Thanks. [/URL] [/URL] Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 6:48 pm Using some PCGS graded examples as a reference, I would put this coin at MS-63. I don't see any wear - just signs of light handling that are common with these. Report this Post to the Staff
