Chewyduck Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 5:33 pm I just got this in. I posted a thread earlier about dark toning and how it affects the grade. The first pic is natural and the next ones are lit up a bit for detail purposes. The 8:00 rim ding detracts some but overall I like the coin. These are out of my price range in perfect shape. If you guys can send a grade and comments this way, It would be appreciated greatly! Also do you think that ding would give it a details grade? Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 6:40 pm I will go with VF-35. Looks to be a very nice example! The rim hit does not look all that bad and probably would not cause a details grade. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 10:38 pm Rim ding is not that severe, a details grade on that alone is not likely. A like the circulated cameo look on some pieces and it looks good here. That's a very strong VF, right at XF. Report this Post to the Staff
