Feel free to send it to me after you get it if you're still not sure. I will then travel to the South Pacific--where I will be moving permanently--to have my coin expert check the authenticity. Once confirmed, I will be happy to keep it safe for you.

This coin is a good example when comparing real wear vs technical grades. That die was very worn. The die spacing was very tight as is typical when the coiners were trying to get more out of a die.

I'm going to get a lot of flak out of this but the actual WEAR on this coin is equivalant to an ef40 on a typical die. Because this is a late stage die, with little detail left on the devices, it's "apparent" grade is probably a VG. Honestly I wouldn't expect it to sell for any more than VG money. If you compare a number of VG examples of this same date and grade I think you will see what I mean.
