  Your thought. I am thinking of getting it into an NGC tomb..... the scratch on the reverse may put it in a body bag?

XF Details? Too bad about those scratches on the reverse.

I'd say VF30-35. The scratched L and M on the reverse holds it back IMO.

I agree with solid EF details. LIBERTY is pretty strong and coins with slight weakness here are often graded as high as EF-45. The LM reverse scratches would definitely warrant a "graffiti" problem designation from a TPG. Too bad; otherwise it's a nice piece and not cheap in this relatively high grade. |

No need to slab this coin. It is clearly authentic but has rim damage, graffiti, some type of surface contamination (that might come off with acetone). I agree it should make XF Details and would likely be valued at the Fine grade level for value.

LM must really get around, I saw a VF 1878CC Morgan on my shop's bid board this week that had LM '39 engraved right on Liberty's cheek  |

VF Details. Grafitti. Looks to have been cleaned at one time and re-toned.

Thank you everyone for your grade so far, I forgot to ask: How much would you be willing to buy it for?
I may consider selling it, if there are some demand for it. Of course I will follow the rule of CCF when selling it.
