    looking for some opinions ...

    do you all think this coin would "grade" by PCGS (maybe AG or G?)
    or come back as ungradable?

    I wasnt sure how serious the dig is around 10 oclock on the obverse ...
    or the digs in the reverse.

    Even without the rim dig I think it would come back in a genuine holder listing environmental damage. Just my humble opinion - I did not try to attribute the coin.

    Genuine by PCGS, but I'd call it a nice VG coin.

    My first impression is 6/net 4 Obverse 4/net 3 Reverse. MAYBE you could push a VG details from a TPG which emphasizes the obverse.

    ps quick attribution is S-157 R2.

    obverse 6 reverse 3. it might grade but i dont see the point in sending it. probably more attractive outside a slab.

    Send it to NGC, the prong @ 10 O'clock will cover the rim ding :)
