Already got one of these, but for 19 bucks, come on, really? How COULDN'T I? Thoughts on a grade? Looks like a full rim Good to me. Not sure about surfaces, might details out, might be cleaned, the light obverse scratch might kill it...not going to complain at that price!!

Nice rims, nice original look, all obverse mint mark WLHs are cool in my book! First thought was G-6 but believe there's enough detail and going with VG-8.

I see full rims. Good catch on the pvc-looking stuff alpha. Can you rub that scratch out to lesser prominence? Any '16 is a good '16 at that price. Nice snag!

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

G-06 and the scratch can be overlooked at this level of wear. Excellent buy for $19.  |

I agree, G-6 with obverse scratch.

Also  with the G-06 grade. I really don't think the distractions mentioned will affect the value of the coin much. With this degree of wear, most buyers are interested in filling the hole at a reasonable price. Your price was certainly a must-buy. |

I was teetering between G-04 and G-06 ,but decided on G-06 because of the full rims . Strange the obverse scratch didn't bother me one bit . very nice price . |

Agree G-06, not for me with the scratch, but good value for sure.
