    Please guess the grade (and add any other details you might feel are pertinent).
    @Paddy54 can't guess ;)
    @paddyman98 can guess but can't reveal the answer within the few first hours :smuggrin:

    Sharp looking coin, 55? Die break across the shield?

    l see im guessing under many of the others. Doesn't this coin have higher wear around the wings lateral edges? I feel like that is pretty detrimental to the grade.

    Strikes on these were not full. I'm confident it's UNC

    Oh I can't play because I'll make everyone else feel inadequate :D. I can say it is an R-1.

    And like I said ddddd this will be a good teaching specimen! As you can see they are all over the map.....:wacky:

    Did they mail you a fancy diploma or offer you a spot on the elite grading team? :p
