There are certainly collectors with enough knowledge to authenticate this coin ... alas I am not one of them and hopeful that you are.

Appears authentic from my limited knowledge ... I'm in at F12/F15 ... but not an expert opinion.

Lovely example of a rare key-date coin.

F-12 seems right although F-15 wouldn't surprise me.

I think the picture or scans are flooded and the obv looks like there is not very much definition. The reverse wheats look awful strong for a Fine grade. I'm in the VF range. nlp

I have to agree with nlp coins. I think it grades VF-20 maybe VF-25 with the right graders.

With that obverse, it should be a Fine. But key dates are often overgraded so who knows. Nice pickup!

F-12

I do not see any huge red flags, so I would say it's real. Are you going to get it slabbed?

Thank you all for your grades. When I bought it, I though the Obverse looked F-12 and the Reverse looked VF-20. So I purchased it based on F-15 (and paid my co-worker a fair price). As for getting it slabbed I think I will down the road. But for now I am enjoying it next to all my other wheats! Thanks to all!
