On the other hand, surfaces, color, and rims count for probably half the assessment, and the surfaces of this coin are hard to assess from a pic. It does appear that the planchet was striated before striking, so that might be at least partially forgiven by a slabber. That said, I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers. James |

Unless the coin is nearly black, I'd say it would garner at least an EF40 grade from PCGS and EF45 from NGC. Ira |

Tell ya what, I'll buy it as a VF and sell it to you as an XF. A win-win scenario, if I ever saw one! James the Flipper |

Ira It's got nice surfaces, one of the reason's I got it. There was an even nicer Nova but I've always wanted a Fugio. I like how everyone talks gardes in terms of TPG :-) The universal standard remains elusive. |
