Igleos Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/15/2012 02:34 am This coin belonged to my grandfather and my dad decided to give it to me. I don't plan on ever getting rid of it but it has inspired me to start a type set. I was wondering what kind of grading it would get. Thanks for the help everyone! Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 01/15/2012 02:41 am I would grade this as ES. Extra Special, It was your Grandads So to you its value is incalculable. I have acouple of my dads coins and they are nothing spectacular but the only way I would part with them is at gun point. Even then the first shot would have to put me down Report this Post to the Staff
