Nice pickup! I would say its at the higher end of the VF spectrum. Almost XF. Notice the wings in the back are nearly separated all the way out to the tips(requirement for XF)Just a touch of wear keeps it in VF. Also, the band under liberty is complete, which puts it into the VF-30 range. To be honest, I've seen coins in pcgs and ngc XF slabs that don't have any more detail than this one. I'd go with a strong VF-30 or 35, but that's just my opinion.
However, I agree with the others that the surface is not original. Looks cleaned. Not worth certifying. Still AWESOME pickup for $10!! Congrats!
