Here is one of those coins that I threw out a low bid and won (surprisingly). What do you think that PCGS bestowed upon this one?

I hope that those scratches on the back are of the slab.

Thanking you in advance!

At least a grade higher than it deserves, no doubt.
Only because it is you, Hate to Wait, I'll guess a VF25.
I like the appearance of the bow on the obverse.
The scratches on the back look to me to be on the holder.
Something about the "depth" of them tells me so.
The obverse, I suggest have both scratches on the plastic and perhaps two on the coin itself. Minor ones.
I do so hope that you like the coin in hand.

I got it at a good price, I just need to figure out what to do with it. I'll throw this one out a little earlier than usual;

That's not hard. You own a dremel? No need for a slab - it's a lock at the grade (plain to me that the reverse scratches are on the slab, even though it's new). This one belongs in a Dansco.

Yes, I have a Dremel and a vise (which I ashamedly used before on a very scratched up slab)...it will be just fine, thanks SsuperDdave.

It's a nice mid-level type coin for an album.
