<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stickman, post: 13451, member: 1158&quot;]I&#039;m a newbie. I recently got a digital camera and DSL connection. For some reason this caused me to become obsessed with my old coin collection. My wife hates me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;m wondering what grade you folks might give this coin. I know it&#039;s worth a fair amount, so the difference is substantial from one grade to the next. Pictures can be deceiving too - this coin really shines in person. Any suggestions for a better digital shot also appreciated. I realize grading is tough to do over the internet; I&#039;m just looking for a ballpark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every coin has a story! My grandfather was head librarian at the Chicago tribune library back in the 1940&#039;s, and his predecessor had people all over the world who sent him coins. The coins kept coming after this man died, and my grandfather kept up the connections. When I was 10 or 11 years old he put them all in a pile and his 5 grandchildren took turns picking coins. I&#039;ve had these for over 30 years now. It&#039;s too bad we were so young because we used to clink them around a bit before I put them into protectors. Oh well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the input![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
