But like Frank stated above, XF can only be BN, right? Here's an example for the OP to compare:...
I think Darryl overlooked the VDB on the reverse because the photo was rotated 90 degrees; I missed it on the first look also, paying attention...
I agree with all of the above. I never collected "grade".... I collect coins. Condition means little to me; I would much rather have a nice VG-FN...
The proper terminolgy is "replica", and sold only "to make your collection more perfect." Yep, I miss the J-man's auctions on eBay...
And selling them to "customers" in the U.S.; then you can get about three bucks each for them beauties...

I'd go back to 1969 and NOT sell my collection (which I foolishly did to finance my first marriage... the two biggest mistakes of my life).
Unfortunately, he did. Sometimes it's harder to teach "restraint" to YN's than it is to teach numismatics.
Impress your friends and neighbors or co-workers... someone asks for change of a twenty; you reply: "sorry, I have nothing smaller than a $1,000...
If you look at the sellers other items, you will see they are all dramatically overgraded/overpriced.
