I'll be afraid to handle it until I certify it, but I'm not planning on selling it. At first I thought I can now part with my G Details 1888/7, but since that was my "first", I gotta keep that one too, lol. Maybe when I get a 3rd..

I was hoping for a VF-30. No doubt I am thrilled with the results! I think it was a generous grade, but on the other hand, if we're comparing it to this CAC'ed example:

mine is definitely nicer.

I feel that was overgraded, just like the Heritage coin. Mid VF is closer to reality. But CONGRATS on the result! Not bad for a $500 investment.

Now how did that Heritage coin get CACed?

$500 gamble paid off for now what seems to be a coin worth over 10K. Nice score.

Wow ... homerun on the grade

I was thinking it looked VF in your first pictures.
The last pictures, in the slab looks very nice.

You pay the big bucks to get it graded, they grade it XF.

Then it's XF.
