<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 24870198, member: 102022&quot;][USER=77413]@RonSanderson[/USER] you&#039;ve got yourself a very nice, but interesting IHC there.</p><p><br /></p><p>My observations:</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is by far the nicer of the two sides of your coin.

From my vantage point, behind a screen, only looking at some pictures (albeit very nice pics), I see wear consistent on the high points of the wreath.

I&#039;m seeing it as a $45-$65 coin. Possibly as much as $83. As such, the cost of grading, the potential for a body bag, and the limited upside due to my hesitation to even remotely seeing it as an MS65, which would be the lowest grade for me to justify the cost to grade, would lead me personally to enjoy that IHC in a nice Lighthouse Holder and forego the TPG.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
