I was hoping for a VF-30. No doubt I am thrilled with the results! I think it was a generous grade, but on the other hand, if we're comparing it to this CAC'ed example:

mine is definitely nicer.
Rest in Peace

I feel that was overgraded, just like the Heritage coin. Mid VF is closer to reality. But CONGRATS on the result! Not bad for a $500 investment.

Now how did that Heritage coin get CACed?

$500 gamble paid off for now what seems to be a coin worth over 10K. Nice score.

Wow ... homerun on the grade

I was thinking it looked VF in your first pictures.
The last pictures, in the slab looks very nice.

You pay the big bucks to get it graded, they grade it XF.

Then it's XF.

According to the PCGS catalogue which I have access to, your coin is now one of three in this grade and has an estimated auction value of $10.000. Job well done, I'd say!

This is an awesome coin. Need a full ribbon to be XF-40 but still an incredible find.
