Pulled this out of a handful of LC's someone gave me. Pretty good shape for as long as it's been out in the wild. There not common. Find an average of 1 in 150,000 of the LC's I search thru. Glad to see they are still some out there.

Best not to use the term 'Good' or 'Very Good' as a description for a coin. The first thought that every one has when that term comes up, is the coin grades as a 'good' which is a very low grade. Better to say it is a 'nice coin', as that is not a grade of coins.

Hopefully it does not grow any. Dipped it in acetone and put in an airtight..so should be good.

I think this is number 4 for me from the Philly mint. I have yet to find one from Denver. As more time passes, the odds me of finding one diminish.

It's back to my tubes of '88s to reexamine what I have. Nice find.

So true, as well as the condition of found coins will diminish.
