jjttdw New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 3:26 pm My grandfather immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in the 1920s leaving the rest of his family behind. His mother gave him this coin when he left...he never spent it. What do you think the grade is? I tried my best with the photos... Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 3:50 pm Slight wear on the high points of the beard (obv) Keep this coin at gEF = AU-55 Most of the wear most probably occurred in the 1888 -1920 period. Report this Post to the Staff

jjttdw New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 12/30/2020 2:42 pm Thanks all. Let me ask a follow on question: what is the most convenient way to have the coin officially graded? Sorry for the dumb question, I've never thought about having a coin graded but this is one I never intend on selling and I'd like to have it in something better than the sad little container it is in.
