I believe the wearing of ATES OF AMERICA into the rim makes this coin an AG3. While "market grading" continues to change and, at times, upgrade a coin, I still grade by the "old standards" and the letters cannot be worn into the rim and get a G4 grade in my book. Sorry.
Thanks for the input everyone. I really need to curb my excitement sometime and investigate further and not jump in. The coin is not bent, and I gave 20 bucks for it. But I think these are tough to grade. And I didn't know they were so small, My son laughed at me and said you paid that for that little thing!
