Kennedy "Guess the Grade" w/ a Prize

in U.S. Coin Forum
This one was, admittingly, found in a sack full of circulated 90% Kennedies. It stood out a bit.
What would you grade it? It'll be going into PCGS or NGC soon and it'll be interesting to compare their grade to yours.

I'll save this Thread and bring it back after the coin is graded. Good luck! I'll have to come up with a neat prize (by my standards, of course) for the member who is closest, if not dead on to the actual grade.

    no-grade, for the rim damage, or perhaps environmental damage.

    Nets Fine or so, IMO.

    BB. Enviro damage? Can't tell what the brown spots are. Rim damage.
    If it does grade PR35.

    << <i>PR50 if it doesn't get a BB. >>

    I will add this:

    IF it gets bagged, I'll draw a name, at random, from the guesses and award the prize that way. Somebody will win, regardless.
    -I honestly don't believe it will get bagged though. It has a bit of a more natural look than photo'ed and the rim dings appear exaggerated.

    I just found the "perfect" prize too... the new owner will be pleased!

    I'll guess PF-25, with a better than 50/50 shot at a bodybag.

    Sorry Pat, but before I saw anyone's answers the first thing that came to mind was BB'd for excessive rim damage. I agree with the majority. Body bagged.image
