Coinguy1000 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 6:47 pm Looking at the PCGS PhotoGrade website I think it would make a VF25 as long as the reverse is better than the pics. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 6:48 pm Its a strong strike with a high amount of wear as opposed to a weak strike with a low amount of wear; that can sometimes give the illusion of a higher grade. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbymeru Valued Member United States 285 Posts	Posted 10/26/2012 4:10 pm So it arrived today. Can't wait to get home to open it. I'll post later on what I find. This may be a dumb question, but do you use anything specific to measure the diameter of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

This may be a dumb question, but do you use anything specific to measure the diameter of the coin? A good set of calipers would be best, but there are workarounds. If you want to know if it's within tolerances and don't have calipers, use a ruler and draw two parallel lines on a piece of paper using a ruler and lay the coin between the lines (poor man's calipers) Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 10/26/2012 4:41 pm My impression is VF-20. But due to the lack of details in the scans you posted, my opinion could go higher seeing it in hand. I agree. You got a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 10/26/2012 5:04 pm I see the completed ebay auction and seller is a major online coin dealer with thousands of positive feedbacks. I would still verify weight/diameter/magnetism and have a coin expert view it in-hand if possible. I'm 90% sure it's genuine but you never know these days. I also see they had graded it VF/XF and that looks like what it is. Even a cleaned example is worth the $249 you paid. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
bobbymeru Valued Member United States 285 Posts	Posted 10/27/2012 2:22 pm So it passed the magnet test. I went to my local coin shop. It was in the Weight Tolerance, was the right diameter, had proper wear, and even made the silver ring when lightly dropped. We think it may have been cleaned lightly at some point and definitely has slight damage in wing, but overall we confident it was authentic. It is a fine VF to XF example for my 7070 and is in similiar grade range as rest of my coins. thanks to all for advice and comments! Report this Post to the Staff
