WOW... I just did the preview. Sorry about the huge images, I will tone it down a little next time!!!!
In my continuing voyage to become at least a little bit competent with the grading of coins, I would like to ask a favor. This is one of the coins that I am practicing on. I think I have the "fine" and "good" and "piece of crap" parts down pretty well, but when the coins starts to get into the XF/AU/MS range my confidence begins to falter.
Now I know that grading from a picture (a crappy scan no less) is not giving a lot to go on, but I am just trying to get an idea.
I can tell you this coin is very bright, and was under a label (in the old album) of "unc". Any feedback would be appreciated, especially what you see that would lead you to say why you graded this coin at this level.
I thank you profusely in advance!!!

I think it's a nice, original, very choice AU.

Again, sorry about the sizes of the pictures. I had no idea they would blow up to that size!!!

i think its a very poorly struck MS coin.
the obverse appears XF at best,while the reverse is high AU to MS.
may be painful at PCGS,but it could be a nice surprise as well !
I think this coin will be my first submission to PCGS. I am anxious about it, but that is half of the fun.
