[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 73542, member: 669"]Well Tammey, I hate to [img]http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/142.gif[/img] you to the forum by bursting your bubble, but IMHO there is no way that your coin will grade higher than XF. :( I have enlarged and lightened the picture to see the detail better, and it just doesn't have the "snap" of an MS coin. I'm just not knowledgeable enough about the market for U.S. coins to give you any advice on selling it, but just don't plan to buy a mink coat with the proceeds. [color=red]Added:[/color]After reading Troyster's post which went up while I was typing mine, I went back and enlarged the tailfeather area to the extent that the denomination characters were about 1/4-inch high. I didn't see a mintmark. :eek:[/QUOTE]
