    Oh well this is a complicated matter, this must be graded differently than any other coin - graded in a very special way. This one has to be graded based upon the source - and that means it grades 100% perfect ;)

    I agree. If they did a better job with the reverse Eagle, then this would be a serious design.
    The Monuments look execptional.

    First, that is not a coin, it is a medal (most likely) or a token (less likely).
    Second, looks like a nice unc to me.
    Nice gift from the kids, Ruben.
    Shows that they are thinking of you.

    I'm going to send to SGS for grading and sell it on ebay.

    then it is a coin, and probably MS-72.
    And, since it is the first that you have seen, it is obviously rare as all heck!
    "Only one known, to me. Gotta be rare. MS-70++++. Estate Find. Owned by a little old lady, and kept in a cigar box for generations. I am not a coin dealer, so grade for yourself. See photos attached."
    Then make sure that the images are really blurry.
