[QUOTE="SeaEagleCoins, post: 616418, member: 19141"]I may be new to this forum...but I am not a newbie to coins...with that said... IMHO...the OP's coin looks like a very solid VG10-F12 from the pics. Since the major TPG's have tightened up a bit over the past year...slabbing is basically a crapshoot.
