ANACS gave it a grade of VG08. It has a lower serial number and the slab is slightly smaller then my old school ANACS slabs. It was fun buying southern gold for 25 dollars over melt. thanks for the replies. i wish i could find more southern gold in this grade range at these price levels.

It seems grade inflation is alive and well. Maybe 291fifth would have gotten the old school grade ;-)
Oh I wish every coin I owned had a truly original look to it. This coin may have been boinked long ago but to me it is very acceptable at the price level I paid. I like it also for the fact it is the tougher variety of the date and it was conservatively graded.
In hand the coin has a regular gold color, slight patina remaining in the crevices, and a well worn look. I would guess it got a bubble bath in the past.
I agree that aside from the reverse rim being a tad bit weak the coin looks better than a VG8. It appears to have a very pleasant look to it and is a terrific value for the price paid.
