Message:: [QUOTE="Sallent, post: 26075038, member: 76194"]Let me put it this way [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] and [USER=7638]@ksparrow[/USER]  I think my coin could go either way on any given day. There are some aspects of it, especially on the feathers in the eagle and the very clean fields that are definitely XF-40, while the wear in the obverse leans a little closer to VF-35. I think on any given day you could ask 10 experts and get 10 different answers whether this is VF-35 or XF-40. My personal opinion is that if this was a VF-35 I could submit it to CAC for a green bean, but as it stands, XF-40, I would not as it would not bean. So I would say it's either a high for it's grade VF-35 or a low for it's grade XF-40, depending on who is grading that day. Either way, what I paid was squarely in between the price for a VF-35 and an XF-40, which I thought was fair given that in my opinion this one straddles the lines between both grades. And also, due to its "approximate grade" which is far away from AU or MS, I was able to get it without breaking the bank.....hence budget friendly, as AU and MS examples are definitely up there in price.[/QUOTE]
