What do you think about the quality of this coin, friends? I hope the green sign is not a problem.

It looks like it is a great coin but it's value is significantly reduced due to the green scribbles on it.

Hello,

What is going on with the '3' in the date; it appears to be a weak strike or something?

Also, what exactly is that line running through the 'T' of TRUST down to the leaves below?

Maybe I am looking at this wrong but there's something about those stars that bothers me but I cannot put my finger on it.

IMHO,

It's an RPD - we've talked about this coin in another thread. It is an extreme rarity, and....quite valuable. Probably a 5-digit coin.

Thanks for your opinion Prethen, I would say AU50 or better but the final word will be on PCGS.

Prethen, today received info from our dealer - the coin is certified this week XF45, but still no info in PCGS pop. report. You are accurate in your assessment.
