At most of the larger shows, the slabbers do you have a presence. But, certainly not every one.
They're looking for $650, which seems rather high for me. There is a hint of luster in hand. I'm thinking it likely had an old dipping and retoned...
I'm still learning to grade these & think the bullion shop I saw this at has an AU price on a VF coin. What do you think is a fair grade & price...

What's the best way to neutralize oils in your hands before touching a coin? I do my best *not* to touch, but see the value of the OP's note.
