mountainman 2 Valued Member United States 351 Posts	Posted 11/11/2012 7:06 pm Thanks for the replies. You can't see it in the pics but there are small black specks all over the coin. Also a flat spot on the bottom of the steps and a couple small nicks here and there along with a fingerprint on the obverse. Probably come back as ungradable because of all that. However, there is very little wear overall on the coin. Probably worth in the neighborhood of $25 or so even with all it's imperfections. Report this Post to the Staff

mountainman 2 Valued Member United States 351 Posts	Posted 11/12/2012 6:02 pm Chuckster, good to hear from you. When you told me about your 2nd one, I didn't understand how difficult they were to find. Doubt i'll be lucky enough to find 2 more for the tie but who knows. Thanks again for the replies.
