How will this grade? Is it worth sending in?

Excellent coin Pat, but she won't get the FBL with the hit right on the lines.

I'd still go solid 65 with it, color might get a 6.

lcoopie · June 28, 2008 12:37AM

63-64
depending on the mark on the rev

no FBL

MS64. Really weak strike even for this usually weakly struck date.

Here's a 65 with a pretty good strike:

average quality, late die state. save the fees, place in 2x2..........................

SkyMan · June 28, 2008 6:47AM

Don't send it in.

I would not send it in...MS 63 tops in my opinion.

Agree 100%

LucyBop · June 28, 2008 3:19PM

as said earlier, a very weak strike from a rather fatigued die, one can see the softness/mushy lettering.....

MS62-63 Probably a $40 coin at retail.

A very attractive coin made by a worn die more suited for an album than for a slab.

evsite · June 28, 2008 4:14PM

I am going with 64, no FBL designation.

georgiacop50 · June 28, 2008 11:09PM

Not worth sending in unless it is the RPM.

<< <i>MS62-63 Probably a $40 coin at retail. >>

it wouldn't make cents to pay almost that amount to have it graded

you were wise to ask, by the way.

Die break on reverse in letters H A in the work half at 7 pm.

.....an obvious branch mint proof , struck from chrome plated die's with thundering bold bell line's - I would grade it a solid MS68 ..........
