    My opinion is that you should send it to me right away.

    I will aslo add, as a person that does not have experience with these, I hope it is a 9/8...........but I thought it would be more obvious.

    I can PM my mailing address if you need to lose that coin.............lol

    looks nice from the picture, I would grade it MS63 RB... BARELY MISSES RED

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    a really nice example - if the color is accurate then definitely RB 63/64. nice die crack on the obverse.

    neither PCGS nor NGC would grade it tho - looks like verdigris on the reverse (if it's not verdigris then they would prolly say it's been cleaned and re-colored because of the dark spots).

    Definitely a W9/8. In addition to the obviously re-punched last digit, the re-cut O in ONE occurred on one of the W9/8 dies. Hard to say on grade without having it in hand. I guess I would agree with Dragon, at PCGS either 63RB or body bag. Maybe 63 red at ICCS, but they may comment on the holder if cleaned or verdigris.
