Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 2:16 pm I'm not sure if you're aware, but the reflective surfaces and the eagle's feathers on the reverse (if I'm seeing them correctly) identify this coin as a proof. Proofs can be a bit difficult to assign an accurate grade to, so I'll not attempt it. A more direct and close-up photo would be helpful.

Hodagcoins Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 2:24 pm I was not aware that it was a proof I bought it at scrap price. Shop sells everything not graded at scrap. I will try and get a better pic however I'm using a phone to take pics so its not easy. Report this Post to the Staff

These are hard to grade without holding in hand and kind of rotating it a bit to see all the scratches, but it doesn't look that beat up. Probably low 60s. Maybe pr-62? If you paid scrap, you got a deal. Report this Post to the Staff
