barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5856 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 7:18 pm I picked this up on ebay to fill a hole in my 7070 album: The seller estimated it as VG or VG+. I figure it's between a G06 and a VG08. I got into a bit of a bidding war and ended up paying $137.50, which I figured wasn't too bad if a true VG08 is currently listed at $180. The coin does have some scratches and rim damage, however, so I'm really not sure how that affects the grading and/or value. What do you think? Thanks!

Rather less than a coin that's fresher than 209 years old. Nice pickup. Report this Post to the Staff
