    BB-157, B-5, R-2 ?

    If not, possibly BB-165, B-8, R-2...?

    Are those massive die chips above the stars?

    Dunno. Think they'll forgive those toned in scratches?

    Tough call. They are known to go easy on old, big silver... But I'd hate to give ya bad advice and waste your money.

    However, I *will* say that I've seen worse specimens in straight-graded plastic...

    Honestly I probably won't send it in. Let the next owner roll the dice.

    This is an excellent example for a type album. Authentic, full of character, and damage occurring in the album won’t affect the value of the coin.

    Nice coin. I think I’d try it I’ve seen worse in holders. At least it’s original unlike about 75% I’ve seen
