SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 1:13 pm I want to say XF, such great details and luster, but it's been so banged up I think that knocks it back down a bit, either to a mixed grade or a "choice VF+"... Any other opinions out there? Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 4:35 pm With the amouth of luster showing I'm thinking it may be a weak strike. Though there does also appear to be circulation wear. So I'm going to grade it based on the wear I see. VF-30. I can't really tell if the date has been repunched, but the second 1 looks different than the first. Report this Post to the Staff
