An attractive circulated example of this ever popular Key Date issue, with original brown surfaces. You may have noticed that I have not mentioned a grade. By the current standards of the grading services, this is likely to certify as a VG-8 if submitted. You can compare this coin to the PCGS VG_8 example also available, or to any number of Good to Very Good specimens shown on CoinFacts to see what I mean. This date typically comes with a weak Obverse rim, usually anywhere between 9:00 and 3:00 depending upon the coin, which is a marker of authenticity. This coin however has a full bold rim, just a trace of weakness above STATES. Traces of the tops of various letters in LIBERTY show - that and a full rim are usually enough to get an assigned grade of VG. However, I am Old School (some would say a dinosaur) and feel more of those letters should show. So, I have priced this at the equivalent of a PCGS/CAC Good-6, which I will guarantee as a grade if submitted. As to why I don’t send it in myself, I have several other coins of this date in stock at present, and wanted to make this available to someone who just wanted a nice coin for an album set. As always, I guarantee the authenticity of this coin, in perpetuity – if that is a concern and you wish to submit the coin for grading, you can contact me regarding my extended return privilege.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
