    G4.. maybe a shot at 6, outside chance that the rim bump will keep it out of a holder, but I think that's more likely on a higher grade coin.

    Looks nice and original.

  • A nice solid good, does have a small rim bump at 5 o'clock but that shouldn't affect it!

    G-4. Some people would strictly say it's AG because the rim is worn into the devices from 2:00 to 4:00 on the reverse, but I think the rest of the coin is strong enough to "save" the G-4 grade.
