    This one came my way today. And I’ve now flipped it within an hour of getting it. But if my friend hadn’t wanted it, I’d have slabbed it and put it in my own collection.

    The dealer and I concurred on Choice AU; maybe 58 on a good day, but we called it 55 to be conservative. Maybe a light dip in the past (it’s a tiny bit whiter in hand than in these pics), but we figured it’s probably market-acceptable and has a decent chance at a straight grade when it goes off to the TPG (PCGS or NGC). Worth a shot, right? What do you think?

    It looks like an honest coin. Probably hung out in a pocket or two.

    Yep - I think it is worth a shot.

    Nice! agree-55 to 58-- don't see any reason why it shouldn't straight grade.
