BigAppleBucky Valued Member United States 396 Posts	Posted 02/05/2013 6:52 pm I think this is a pretty nice coin, except for the dirt. What does it grade and should I be concerned about the dirt? My grandfather had this coin. I never spoke to him about it so I have no idea how he acquired it, except that he mostly quit coin collecting for rock hounding in the early 60's so he had it before then. I have no plans to sell it. Report this Post to the Staff

Eklections Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 02/05/2013 7:57 pm I wouldn't touch it. It looks exceptional as it is. I don't see these very often so I'll defer to some others to weigh in on the grade. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
