Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 10:51 am These type 2 coins are really tough to grade. I would think maybe AU-50. The marks on the left side of the obverse make me think it may have ended up in a details slab. Report this Post to the Staff

Phaedrus29 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 11:06 pm I think PCGS was tough on this one: PCGS VF Scratched The scratches on the obverse going up from around 5pm and 6pm are pretty pronounced, although they don't stand out too much in this pic. But perhaps VF is unfair. The coin was actually graded at NGC before PCGS, and graded XF Scratched there. The regrade turned out not to be a wise decision I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 05:05 am I was thinking VF details myself before I scrolled down, those obverse scratches really do a number on the eye appeal on this coin, unfortunately.
