I asked the kid behind the desk if I could trade him a "penny for a penny". He looked at me funny and said "Yeah, sure". I brought it home and put it in a jacket. Thought I had an MS grade until I took pictures. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 07/31/2022 3:31 pm John1,, can you show me the die clash? Report this Post to the Staff
Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 07/31/2022 3:35 pm I had a guy tell me it might be worth having graded, I'm not so sure but I'm also a novice. Looks to me like there is slight wear on cheek and jaw and spots of faded luster on field Edited by Camrdaddy19 07/31/2022 3:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19129 Posts	Posted 07/31/2022 3:57 pm MS61 for me--possibly AU58 if an in-hand evaluation showed high point wear. Still, very nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/31/2022 4:16 pm No not worth grading. Needs to be about 4 or 5 steps above this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 07/31/2022 6:18 pm I'd say at least AU-58 with a slight rub on the cheek and jaw, although 63 is possible depending on how it looks in hand. Nice find, but definitely not worth the cost of grading. Report this Post to the Staff
