Looks to me to be 35/40. I don't see it as a 45.

Value? Eye appeal counts and I'm not sure I'd make that call from these photos. The scratch across the cheek may be a problem. And cleaning is always a worry.

This is a coin that will be worth a lot more in a graded holder from PCGS or NGC. If you're thinking of selling it you will get much less if it is raw.

Thank you, Lance. Now maybe Chris will understand why someone would want to have a coin GRADED by PCGS....
just sayin'.

Did you get that coin for a bargain price?

 

Nice coin. It sure is a lot better than my 95s.

 

Yes, i bought a lot at under melt value, i think i ended up paying around $15-$17 per coin, so it was a good deal
