found this today and am considering buying it.
I could use the grading gurus opinions on grade and value.
you can't really see it on these crappy pics, but there is a light scratch across the cheek. Not a gouge.
I wish my phone took better quality pictures.
I was fortunate though to have the dealer allow me to take the picture so I could bring it home to view and enlarge it on my computer.

These pictures are pretty blurry... around VF-30 probably.

Looks like high VF at least. Can't determine the originality of the surfaces with these photos but I will say I would expect a original un-messed with coin to be a bit darker than this one.

It is darker in hand.
Poor light and poor camera.
You can just barely make out the scratch on the cheek in the picture.
Maybe next week I will make him an offer.(with the cheek scratch in mind)
His original price was 95.00 and told me I could have it for 75.00
