otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 3:36 pm I just got this coin. It has scaly toning, especially the obverse. It's not porous. I think this might rise to the level of ED, but I'm not sure. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 10:59 pm It looks VF to me too. ED is close at hand and hard to determine in these images. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
