stevo2283 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 5:14 pm Looking through my Grandfathers old coin collection and came across this. I think this is a far 6. Please let me know if this is a near 6. Also does anyone know if the die crack is a variety? I see a crack between the D&E and also between the A&T. Also what type of grade would you give this coin? Pretty new to this Thanks! Edited by stevo2283 01/05/2014 5:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

chwkboy Valued Member Canada 118 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 8:18 pm I don't know what eyes I was using before but looking at the coin a second time I would change my grading to VF because of the wear on the crown Jewels. Grading photos is a shot in the dark at best. Report this Post to the Staff
