Yes. My father who lived until he was 93 years old gave me some sage advice when he was in his late 80's. "A man thinks a lot more clearly when he only has one head to think with".
Props to your pops, thats a nice round number Barney, I can only wonder the changes in lifestyle that will happen in 43 years. Hey, @No_Ragrets I thought I saw a cleaning on the lower reverse is why I went details.
I've decided I'm leaving this one slabbed and just making a note in the album. Maybe it'll get cut out in the future, but for now she's encapsulated and graded.
Following your lead, I couldn't pass this one up today. Could get details, IDK? What do you think about grade? Yours looks nicer. Paid a couple of bucks less than you but yours is a sure thing. 1878 7/8 strong, rim toning, raw. Will be interesting to see what PCGS thinks. Hoping that mark just under the jaw doesn't get a scratch detail. This is the best I could do with sellers photos.
One more attempt to enlarge sellers photo. It may not work or enlarge when clicked on. Will see soon enough. Edit.......nope. Second edit.....success!
That's a nice looking coin! Maybe AU58 or low MS? The reverse looks pretty good but yeah, that scratch might get it details. I'd be happy to have it regardless of grade though. They're tough to find raw in good condition.
