<p>[QUOTE="claycad, post: 1157527, member: 17987"]Yeah, that scratch makes me cringe every time I see it. But I can't complain to much since I didn't pay anything for it. I found in a box with a locket of hair. 1883 was my great grandfaters birth year and it's been a tradition in my fathers side of the family to keep silver dollars (Or I guess in this case a gold half eagle) with their birth year along with a locket from their first haircut. The coin was wrapped in a tissue. I know my dad didn't know the coin was in the box or he would have stored it in a safer place than the attic. I threw the hair away, I'm not that dang sentimental. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even though you don't think PCGS would grade it, about what grade would a dealer list it as do you think if they were to sell it unslabbed in their shop? Or would they not put a grade on it either and just price it? Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
