<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2546547, member: 19463&quot;]It is a very nice coin.&nbsp; I would not remove it from the slab because someone will pay more for the grade listed than I would for the coin.&nbsp; Lets compare Slab grading to standard grading.&nbsp; This is a D. coin (yours is .D) sold by CNG a while back.</p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=166535" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=166535" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=166535</a><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/873053.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>They called theirs Good VF.&nbsp; Which coin has nicer hair detail on the forehead and beard?&nbsp; This issue often has poor centering and I would award a star for eye appeal to the better centered coin.&nbsp; Another &#039;situation&#039; is that many of these have raggedy edge cuts.&nbsp; I prefer coins with more even edges.&nbsp; Your coin is a beauty.&nbsp; It did not need accelerated grading or a star to make it special.&nbsp; Your reverse has better detail in places so the EF reverse makes it at least the equal of the CNG Good VF.&nbsp; I would love to have such a nice coin graded Good VF and without a star. A Ch AU 5/5 5/5 * should be pretty much a perfect coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine? Just a fine for about 1/4 the CNG price.&nbsp; What would you expect from me?&nbsp; You could sell yours in a second; mine would take a lot longer.&nbsp; As long as we are both happy with our coins, all is right with the world.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]546656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
