eternallogan Valued Member Canada 314 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 3:01 pm I'm new to coin collecting and I'm curious what you guys think of this coin (grade and overall) and if I should get it slabbed or not. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7622 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 3:16 pm Vg-8 to Vg-10 from what I can see. In my opinion it is not worth the added costs to get it slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 6:03 pm Can't tell if the mark on the obverse is damage or not. Either way, not worth slabbing. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7622 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 6:30 pm Thanks for the additional pics. I'll stick with my original evaluation of VG 8 to 10 and still not worth slabbing. And welcome to the Community! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 8:01 pm I'll settle on VG details given that apparent arc scratch in the right obverse field, which shows in all pics. Report this Post to the Staff

jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 12:22 pm VG-10 details. Not worth a slab. That's not a bad thing. I prefer my coins raw anyway. Report this Post to the Staff

eternallogan Valued Member Canada 314 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 3:40 pm Thanks for all the help guys, the dealer assured me it was "certainly a VF to XF coin." I will try to be more careful next time. Even so, I still really like the looks of this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
