VF30. Decent strike, but missing some detail in the lower hair and the central wreath leaves that I'd want to see on an decently struck XF coin.
Ooh. Aah. Zzzzzzz.
Looks like lines that were in the planchet when the coin was struck. Were it something sinister (by which I assume you mean nasty damage), you'd...
I voted no. See my comment (and Tom B's) in the photography forum poll about forum proliferation.
Bad bad bad bad bad. Did I mention it was bad? (Both coin and slab)

The "old holder" hype has been around since the TPGs first changed the style of their respective holders. For the most part, you can ignore it....
It's called "photo seal" sticker. It's more like CAC for Indian cents. Rick guarantees a buy price of no loess than 75% of their sell price for...
