    I've had this for a while, in a 2x2. Just took it out for a moment for better photos and now back in. Any idea as to what this may grade so I may figure out a value? Contemplating trading it for some others I may appreciate more..

    I agree - he ain't getting a "fine" out of that one! But still a nice coin to have.
    Has nice reeds on the reverse though! Plus almost 29 million minted.

    VG is around where I was thinking, thank you for your assessment!

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Looks like an attractive VG+. It has honest wear, and if the pictures are accurate it is a nice solid coin.

    nice patina and no damage. Good looking circ coin and very close to a Fine but not quite IMO
