I was just playing with my new camera, and I thought I would give everyone a chance to grade and critique some of my shots. I bought this one because I liked the die cracks on the reverse. Later I noticed the little bonus on the D of united.

I call it a Fine. The reverse die looks like it was about to shatter with all the perimeter cracks, that probably caused a bit of weakness in the strike. The pics look pretty good but it is always better to take them outside of the 2x2.

Believe it or not, technically the coin may be a VF, but it's not worth more than Fine money. The coin appears to be poorly struck which was typical for that year on many 3CN.
