<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 4231652, member: 71642&quot;]A lot of these have been cleaned, and a few angles look like there could be some hairlines already.&nbsp; It&#039;s a popular coin and truly nice ones aren&#039;t super common.&nbsp; NGC has 3 in 65, nothing higher, and PCGS only 2 (assuming none are crossed over that&#039;s only about 1% of the slabbed population, using very rounded numbers).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from what looks like hairlines, the hits on the cheek, make me doubt it could be that nice.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The design is a soft one, so compare yours in hand carefully to any slabbed photos you can find.&nbsp; That can help with the AU vs. BU as well.&nbsp; The hair and the wheat tend to show it on the obverse.&nbsp; But the hair can be a bit weakly struck too IIRC.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, it&#039;s a lovely coin design, but this coin is likely more suitable for an airtite than a slab.&nbsp; Slabbing costs would likely exceed any return by having it in a slab.&nbsp; That said, I have been known to have literal pocket change slabbed just to have a series in hand <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Nothing wrong with slabbing it if you want it in one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
