<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1859031, member: 66"]It's an XF-45 to AU-50 details. From the image that I see the color does not look natural. It has the washed out appearance of a cleaned coin. But that could be from the lighting or because it was shot through the plastic of the 2X2. The rev is out of focus and it appears there could be a couple of scratches by the eagles head, but those could be on the plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure what the value is but I think slabbing it would be questionable. Fair chance it isn't worth enough to justify it. Yes you say you paid nothing for it, but once you pay to have it slabbed you will have between $30 and $50 into it. If it comes back as aproblem free AU-50 then it probably is. If it comes back as an XF is it worth it? If it comes back as a detail XF then what? This coin needs to be seen in hand by someone who can accurately determine what it is before you go throwing your money at a grading service.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
