Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 823 Posts	Posted 04/20/2020 8:40 pm This just came in and is my best cherrypick at only $25. Would it grade a 2 or possible 3? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/20/2020 8:50 pm I think it makes AG-03. I am not an expert on this series, but this might be the "Open 3" variety, and if so, you have yourself a very valuable coin even in this grade.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 04/20/2020 9:53 pm I would say AG- 3. Nice score! Maybe the TPG will agree, too! Report this Post to the Staff
Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 823 Posts	Posted 04/20/2020 9:56 pm It was an ebay auction for a 6 coin lot and they all looked like this one. The sellers images were not that good and I won the auction at $148. The coins came in/arrived in the mail and confirmed what I thought it was. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/21/2020 12:28 am Just make 100% sure that this example is not an altered closed 3 type, then deliberately disguised by wearing it down. The bottom part of the 3 looks very fat, and close to the rim. Nevertheless, let's hope it is in fact, an open 3. Report this Post to the Staff
