Quote: I think he's making stuff up. GTG means "good to go" and "guess the grade." "Guess the Grade" = when a coin is graded by a TPG and you want members to guess the grade.

It might have obv rub I tried to compare it to some PCGS MS67/68 examples on Coinfacts, and they all looked like that to me. Quote: Good eye spruett001! Thanks. I suppose it's because I have too many coins ruined by old and ugly fingerprints. That pattern stands out. This coin is not in any way ruined by that, though. If It would grade 63/64, it may be worth submitting, depending on your initial investment and grading fees.

I don't mind saying I spent $170 on this. It might be worth getting it graded, but I love being able to hold coins! I generally keep examples like this in airtites. Maybe if/when I ever decide to part with it, it could be submitted. (yeah right) Thank you so much for the opinions and feedback. Much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 7:11 pm To me, the obverse is lifeless and almost suggests a mishandled Unc coin. Is it just the pic? Id like to see a better angle. Report this Post to the Staff
