[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 397819, member: 2972"]Looking at the responses, it looks like everyone graded the coin higher than PCGS... PCGS graded the coin XF 40. My subjective opinion on the coin: The coin is very attractive in hand. Has a dove-grey look that I like to see on old circulated silver, and some remaining luster on both sides that shows pretty well in the photographs. There is a small lamination on the reverse that can be seen in the TrueView attached below: [img]http://www.pcgs.com/TrueView/Medium/12810989.jpg[/img] A ridiculously large TrueView showing the lamination well can be seen here: [url]http://www.pcgs.com/TrueView/Large/12810989.jpg[/url] This coin was purchased from a fellow collector Michael (Tyedye) on the PCGS forums. I intend to break the coin out of its holder and place it in a Dansco 7070 with similar looking XF coins. :) Thanks to everyone for their comments & guesses. Have fun...Mike[/QUOTE]
