That's a nice looking piece.

What's it graded at?

Gee whiz, how surprising to see quality like that turn up at RCONH!

LOL!

Xpipe -- plastic grades are irrelevant on a coin like this. In fact there are those who would flog me for having plastic around it!

i have to think the coin was saved as an uncirc piece way way back when but due to the many collector hands its passed through its been rubbed down to a low AU / high EF.

cant really call it an uncirc,d though now i guess. Technically.
