MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 9:16 pm It's hard to see what's going on with the obverse. It looks like environmental damage. The reverse is better. I would say vf-details. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11899 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 9:28 pm Unfortunately this coin seems too far gone for a third party grading service to slab even with a details designation. It is essentially a cull that doesn't have a a lot of numismatic value. Slabbed coins that are details designated at the VF level sell for $20. This one may be worth a couple of bucks over melt value. Maybe it would be something cool to pass down as a family heirloom. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4594 Posts	Posted 04/10/2017 7:37 pm Melt is basically nothing - it's 0.8g of 0.750 silver. OK, not nothing, but melt is about 35 cents. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
