    Reverse appears to be weakly struck (or shows more wear) .. I'd say high VF total ... and with the planchet flaw. Too bad where the flaw is

    VF30 - send it under error service to get a straight grade. Detached lamination has a better chance of grading than attached.

    My initial thought was low VF

    VF20 details (the obverse is better but the reverse pulls it down). The lamination is so distracting I doubt any service would give it a straight grade.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Vf 30. I believe the grading criteria is applied a bit different.
    The lamination issue is, IMO, not considered in the grading aspect.

    I suspect our hosts would body bag it. Here is their stated policy. Click no grades near the top of the page, then click on panchet flaw.

    I have seen MUCH better body bagged. Not trying to down the coin, just saying....
