    Very handsome for a low grade coin. I've seen you post it somewhere, maybe in one of the "follow the leader" threads, but I don't remember the grade. I personally would grade it G4, since those rims are essentially complete, but I'll bet PCGS AG03-ed it.

    It's one of those I like to call "AG3.5". LOL

    But I'll stick to my G4 assessment. I think it makes it as a full Good.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I was going to say AG-3+ (I realize that's not an actual grade).

    A G-4 should have complete rims, or very nearly complete. The rims on your coin are almost completely gone. An AG-3 will often have the rims worn into the lettering. The tops of almost all of your lettering are present (which is probably why the coin got the G-4). However, I think this is more accurately a really strong AG-3.
