Second What do you think the grade of this coin would be. http://www.ebay.com/itm/22090085084...refresh=true Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Retail for an original, undamaged coin in this grade would be well over $60. Your coin is worth less because of the damage to both obverse and reverse and the sale price reflects that. You received a coin with much stronger detail than would normally be available for $38. If the digs don't bother you then you did fine. Report this Post to the Staff
