Somewhere in the XF range

 

VF-25 to 30

 

I'd give the reverse a 40 but the obverse a 30/35.
And as I understand it, at this time the obverse rules so 35.

 

Y'all are crazy. VF20 max. Possible old cleaning.

 

Agree the reverse is better. Perhaps an old cleaning? Obverse looks a little flat/dull.
35 reverse 25 obverse.
Seconds behind you.

 

I am with CBD, the obverse barely make the details of a VF20.

 

I agree, but it could squeak out a 25. Absolutely no higher, though.

 

I'll go with 25. Nice coin.

 

Thank you.

 

VF25 Details cleaned

 

VF-25

 

I agree, except there is a definite cleaning.

 

VF-25 details cleaned. Most of the bust halves I see have been cleaned.

 

Definitely a VF 20, reverse better, say 30 — but this happens a lot with busties. From what I’ve seen of the major slabbers, obverse condition seems to strongly influence final grade. BTW, it looks like O-113, R3 (per Overton). V. nice Coin!

 

I think the obverse looks like a 25 and the reverse looks like a 30/35. I think it's had an old cleaning. If I was sending it in and assuming the cleaning wasn't bad enough for a details grade, I'd be happy with a 25, selling it the day I got it if it was a 30.

 

LDS Weak strike. I think it could tweak out as a 35.

 

Close enough! From your pic, it looks good enough for a straight grade. Here’s hoping...

 

25.
