[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2602962, member: 5233"]I'm probably in the minority, but I have always really liked SBA Dollars. I thought they were neat when I was a kid...and I think that has always stuck with me. Anyway, when I was first collecting (probably around age 10)...one of the first things I bought was a 1979 proof set for like $7 (it was the second proof set I ever bought...after my 1985, my birth year). I didn't know anything about them, but I liked the set. Years later when looking closer, and knowing more about it...I discovered the SBA was a Type 2. I'm curious what you think the coin would grade. It's still in it's original packaging...but it does have some haziness (which is visible in the photos). The marks on the obverse around the T and Y in "Liberty" are on the case. Although I prefer coins like this graded in my collection, I wouldn't send this coin in as I don't think it's worth doing it. I might sell this set in the future and buy a graded example, but we will see. [img]http://i.imgur.com/T6i7rzA.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/LDw8iGO.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
