I'm amazed anybody remembers him !
Actually it has been done before. Which is why I mentioned the Millennium sets. Only then it was an ASE struck at West Point, but without a W mint...
The reverse will be what holds the grade down, the horizontal shield lines are worn flat. That alone would make me say VF35. But I expect a TPG...
Agreed. But don't think that a problem, any problem, only drops the grade down 1. Depending on severity of the problem the grade may drop by 3 or...
