What you grade and pay for this one, raw: This will be my first purchase of "key" date walker. I don't want to make a mistake!
Nice coin!!! I like it as a VG-10 as well but I have seen some F-12 coins that look exactly like this. Sometimes key coins get market graded up a point or two just because of what the coin is. It isn't right but it does happen. Look at some early flowing hair coinage and you will see what I mean.
Yeah I really don't like to purchase any raw coin on ebay for $100+. So I thought I would take the chance at $72. I would probably be better off trying to find one at a show that I can actually see in person, ya know?
