    The coin has been graded by NGC, lots of toning....

    What do you think it grades as?

    Try searching Sheldon scale online and maybe print it on paper it will help you a lot. I think you meant VF30, there is no G30. It'll take you years to learn it but you have got plenty of time if you're just 13. Good luck

    The toning bothers me. The enlargement makes some of it look like it is laying on top of the surfaces.

    MS Details - AT

    I'm in the 64 FSB , club . But it's hard to really know what the fields look like with that toning . I think it will grade as market acceptable .

    This was a hard one to photograph as the slab has a lot of scratches on it.
