moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/28/2016 9:53 pm Natural VF 30, decent strike, slight environmental damage, no hint of cleaning. Probably not a high enough grade to warrant a certification fee. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/28/2016 10:26 pm I won't usually slab coins until the $100+ mark or more, and this is quite a bit below that level :P Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

rgl1951 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 2:28 pm I'd give it a MS-60 grade but the coin appears to have been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
rgl1951 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 2:30 pm Wow...I wrote my grade prior to reading others. I'm the only one that graded above EF-40. I don't see any wear on this one at all Report this Post to the Staff
