Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/29/2013 3:15 pm Sorry, I can't help with the grade but I will say that for having been circulated it's in good shape. By that I mean while it is worn, it isn't scratched or gouged. That was the very first coin I ever bought and I didn't even know enough to Really Look at it. LOL But that's the coin that got me hooked on the hobby. Report this Post to the Staff

Night-Hawk Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 10/30/2013 8:18 pm Thanks for all your comments! Found this one on the net.. NGC VF35 -Not a very good pic, but slightly better detail.. Makes me think the OP coin above is a 20-25, somewhere in there.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/04/2013 6:02 pm I keep looking at this every day and, while I do see differences in the two coins, I'm inclined to think that yours is the higher grade. The value difference between F12 and MS 60 is only $10 according to Numimedia. Looking at the numbers on that chart makes me think that the value has more to do with the spot price of silver than anything else. Report this Post to the Staff
