westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 11:54 pm AU minimum depending on the luster Could go up to MS64, I also see a possible rub on the cheek area though that would keep it in AU territory.

NicO Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 12/14/2011 4:17 pm I'd say high end AU. As west coin said, there seems to be a rub on the cheek, which would prevent it from obtaining any higher grade. It's hard to tell without a good view of the luster. Report this Post to the Staff
