Here's a newp for your grading pleasure, the first of two. It doesn't have supermodel looks, but the price was right and I rather like the striped effect on the obverse. Could anyone comment as to whether or not that might be an artifact of improper artificial darkening?

I welcome your grade opinions.

Looks VF-30 to me, couple of rim dings. Is that the letter "T" between the stars on the lower left or just a scratch?

The details might even be VF35 but the dings/hits would likely net it a VF25.

Good color and very original.

Two very convenient dings, I think.
