    It would be a stretch for a gold sticker as an XF. However, it is graded NGC F15.

    Nobody knows how to grade these below VF... simply because the series rarely ever comes that low!

    Green or gold... not sure. But it will definitely sticker.

    No idea of the grade (except that it appears "conservative"), but I love the look!

    Green sticker but why bother for a coin like that?

    I say no sticker because it would be a waste of money and it wouldn't enhance the value of a coin like this. I don't think it would have any problem getting a green cac sticker.

    Amazingly SMOOOOOooooooooooth surfaces.

    Gold; and, 90% of the people out there can't grade the Injuns even if they're unc. to choice unc, much less pick out the counterfeits.

    Maybe it is deserving of a gold sticker but I don't think "a Guy named John" is looking to salt his low pop/elite gold sticker inventory with coins like this that really don't matter
    much if the grade is Fine or VF. Last thing he wants is a coin like this trading for AU to Unc money because it has a gold sticker. I voted for a reg. sticker.

    NGC must have had a reason for the Fine 15 grade....it's not like they routinely hand out ultra low grades just for the heck of it....unlike some others I know. image
    There appears to be some serious dirt in some parts of this coin. Any chance the smooth surfaces are the result of a "dirt removal" process that gave it a look that NGC
    wasn't quite sure of?

    I would think the TPGs would have WEIGHTS for the coins in different grades. That way they do not have to eye-ball it, they will know exactly how much the coin has been worn down. So it is my guess, without any problems or harsh marks etc they might weigh the coin and base the grade partially on that?

    You can't grade a coin based on wear.

    I know nothing about grading these pieces but it appears PQ in the aspect that there are no distracting marks, nicks, scratches, coloration patches....its just a very nice circulated piece.

    If in JAs eye it appears to be undergraded, and Im sure he has a good an understanding of grading incuse cois as anyone, then it will indeed sticker. IF it appears undergraded to the point that it could be called an XF piece, then it may gold sticker. I dont think it is that undergraded, so Id say no gold.

    Any coin I think in the three figure and higher valuation would benefit from a sticker. Just my opinion though, as Ive witnessed their power.
