[QUOTE="ozland tiger, post: 58101, member: 3168"][b]I would not buy ungraded coins from E-bay[/b] Based upon the picture only, MS62. I would grade it MS62. I would need to see both sides though. Coin grading is subjective. I learned that the hard way. For a long time I hesitated buying a Lafayette dollar. They were known as "laugh at you" because they are difficult to grade. I bought a raw 1900 Lafayette dollar advertised as MS63 for $400.00 I thought that was a great deal. The coin was blast white and pretty. I sent it in to NGC who thought otherwise. It came back AU58. This was disapointing to me as I typically only purchased NGC or PCGS graded coins. The one time I didn't......ouch! You might find a keeper buying raw, but if you truly want a real keeper, buy it graded (PCGS or NGC) and you cann't miss.[/QUOTE]
