bjcMD New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 7:34 pm Hi everybody! Just picked this up for $57 on ebay. I have a rough idea as to the grade, but I wanted to get some more input. How do you think I did? Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/17/2016 2:17 pm I think it inched in to EF territory, so EF-40. Love those reverse die cracks. Report this Post to the Staff

bjcMD New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 02/18/2016 12:12 am Thank you all! Sounds like a strong VF-35 or just making EF-40. I think it's a win either way for $57. Nice coin for my 7070. Report this Post to the Staff
