My bet is that it will hit MS61, though the dirty fingerprints may knock it to AU58 or even AU55, depending on the tendencies of the...
I might get this coin certified just for the hell of it, though. In fairness I will grant that the pics I put were not the best. I know this...
Yes, I will be honest and admit I thought it might be in the low MS range, not because I necessarily believe it is mint state, but because the...
I agree it is a nice coin. AU or not, it has better eye appeal than some of my certified MS Peace dollars.
I disagree that it is in the low AU area, and suspect if it is AU it is in the high range. I picked this up at a pawn shop and it seemed the...

I picked this up for $52 today. What would you grade it? How much is it worth? I'm just happy to finally have this date.

If you were a day trader and your worst losses were made whole by a generous donator, wouldn't you be profitable as well? The point I tried to...
