VLDS, especially the reverse, barely shows any wheat lines, typical 20's branch mint. Some nice tinges of red in there but it appears to have seen some circulation. The obverse rim is pretty beat-up and there's an obverse fingerprint.

I think there might be a minor die variety for this issue. The 7 looks odd and the LIB could be doubled - dig around.

AU-55

High AU 55/58 to low Unc 60/62. All depends on who's grading it, when and where.
Rest in Peace

Thanks guys. I think my photos are quite poor and do not show the coin as it is, the fingerprint is invisible to the naked eye, and the light makes very minor scratches look much worse. myself and my LCS coworker think it's around the ms62-63bn range.

With a coin like this, it depends on which side of the counter you are standing on.

regardless I have seen multiple slabs where fingerprints made no difference in grade. I guess they dont really think they are of concern or degrade the coin. has anyone else seen this?
