It looks real nice except for the ding on the rim below the seven and at about the 3 o'clock position on the obverse. What grade would you estimate this is and would you grab it at $150? Thanks, Todd Report this Post to the Staff

ToddD New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 11:50 am The pics don't do the red justice. I would think it would be red comparison if it to other PCGS holdered coins they had there. I didn't buy it, wanted to get glfeedback first... Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 12:02 am Never consider a 2X2 a "holder" as per the collectors writing on it. And yes, surfaces look very suspect. Coin is "shiny" but lacks details - stay away! Edited by Mark1959 03/13/2017 12:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
