    I was thinking VF-30ish. What is going on with the ES in STATES on the reverse?

    VF would work for me
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    I would say between 25 and 30

    PCGS was very kind to the person who submitted that coin.

    That coin is VF. PCGS missed the boat...

    Wow...

    NEVER crack that one out of that slab because it would NEVER find its way back
    into that slab.

    ^Agreed

    I still want to know whats on the reverse of the coin, it looks like it might be on the holder?

    This coin just sold on e-bay and I also thought it was overgraded by at least 15.I would've given it a 30.Thanks for the comments.

    Could it possibly be a good crackout and replaced with a lesser grade coin.

    My guess is PCGS got off one line on their group submission. I can see this coin going VF30 on a good day, certainly no better.image
