Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/20/2008 9:17 pm Got this at the last estate auction I went to. Image: img035.jpg 51.9 KB Image: img036.jpg 52.33 KB Have about $20 in it. Oh, it is dark brown, I lightened it to try and give a better pic and now it has a slight green cast. not really there, though. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/20/2008 9:28 pm Jim I hope you don;t mind but I played with your pics a bit .Just to lighten them and remove a little of the green tone. The coin looks like VG-8/10 to me ,, due to what looks like corrosion on the reverse ,, it may actually have Fine details . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/20/2008 9:30 pm Thanks Rick, it look a lot better than mine. I agree with your grade. I keep trying to make it a Fine but it just isn't. Darn. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 01/20/2008 10:42 pm I agree with the VG grade and I would have paid $20.00 all day long for that coin. Good pickup. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/21/2008 08:56 am It was in an old 2 x 2, hazed and wrinkle plastic along with bad lighting made it hard to really see the coin. I always go during the mid day for the preview and there is seldom anyone else there. I know the auction house well and they will let me carry the coin out into the sunlight for a better look. I think this gave me an advantage and you need one with these wolves. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
