A friend asked me how much this coin is worth:

AU or MS? Would it grade? Approximate value?

Thanks!

    These are extremely tough to grade, incus and all. Photos out of the holder would be better. What's that below RTY?

    As a problem-free 62 in PCGS plastic figure around $500.

    In anything under UNC these can readily be had for a small percentage above melt.

    It appears to be genuine and probably somewhere in the EF-AU grade range. The piece apears to have too many surface marks to grade any higher than that.

    Here is a peice that I would grade AU-50 from my raw set.

    Looks to be about AU55. For a common date circulated coin like this, authentication is more important than grading by one of the top tier grading services.

    Agreed. Authentication and Originality are the most important here. If both are present, just over melt.

    I question it's authenticity.
