JJuliano Pillar of the Community United States 705 Posts	Posted 02/15/2016 8:33 pm I am having a hard time figuring a grade for this one. The reverse seems to be VG10-F12 but the obverse is a bit more difficult for me - maybe G6-VG8? Possibly cleaned too? http://www.ebay.com/itm/37155313548...RK:MEBIDX:IT Any help in narrowing it down is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/15/2016 8:40 pm The auction says G+ and I'd go with it. Might make VG8 but that's quibbles. The price seems a bit high. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/15/2016 8:41 pm Obverse is G6 or so but rim damage and lots of deep scratches..ouch. Reverse better. At the price it's not too bad of a deal, though. 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.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 04:47 am with VG-08. Price is average, neither high or low. If your looking for a type coin you can often find these in the auction format in the VF-20 to VF-25 range for about $90-$105. If you have patience and a bigger budget I'd wait for a no questions sweety rather than a :O-hum. Report this Post to the Staff

Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 10:43 am Wear wise, VG-8, but discount it for the scratches and rim ding. Could certainly find a better example for the money with some patience. Report this Post to the Staff

jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 11:55 pm Ask if it has a slight bend. Probably doesn't but it might due to the wear patterns on the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
