Correct grade and service, puhleeze. I'm not sure what I will give away, but it should be something fun...

Guessing the grade is hard enough, but how are we supposed to guess the service?

What an awesome coin!
(Some folks might take this low grade as being insulting. Instead, please take it as a token of my cluelessness.)
We don't even know what the prize will be! This thread is bogus. I'm going to play on the CAC threads instead.

BTW, there's a big difference between failing to see a reason to call a coin counterfeit and authenticating it beyond question.

Especially with dealing with crude issues where alloy analysis would be the only guaranteed way to prove that a coin is originated from the correct minting facility... But even then, it doesn't help if an original coin was melted down to create a counterfeit ...

(My original thought was EF45, but any guess as to grading service would be purely a guess, but I see this as an NGC item).

Now, ask yourself if that's consistent with how other types of coins are graded.
