    Bought this today. It's in a PCGS holder. I've never owned one but wanted it for registry type. What do you think of it? 1859_1_3c.jpg

    Basically for circulated grades I start at AU50 and subtract one grade for each of the five points of the shield/star that show wear. So XF45.

    For the reverse, I start at AU50 and again subtract for wear on the diamond (9 o'clock) and each of the three sets of orbs plus the bars at 12 and 6. Wear is on the point of the diamond (the orbs are missing due to a weak strike). So XF45 there too.
