vf or xf

I have had this one for a while. The obverse looks like a strong vf maybe a weak xf. Reverse looks like it could be an xf.The obverse also looks to be harshly cleaned.But I am by no means an expert or claim to be one.

VF Details

 

I agree with Tyler. If only it hadn't been cleaned, because the reverse has some strong details. :dismay:

 

This was one of my first purchases. I paid the xf price , and learned a lot since.

 

Heck we've all paid more for coins that were graded higher than they should have . Think of it as tuition for your education , I'd put it in an envelope and let it sit for a few years to tone a little , it's still a nice 1st coin . I'm sure you'll be able to tell if a coin was cleaned better than before . We are all constantly learning , when we stop we might as well stop collecting .

 

Cleaned--VF details.

 

VF. I want more details on the obverse to go higher.

 

Yup yup VF and very harshly cleaned

 

VF details, and harshly cleaned. Very nice reverse, but the obverse is demolished by that scrubbing. The scratches are huge.

 

I have placed it in an envelope and hopefully after a few years I will get some nice toning.

 

I hope you get nice toning. I don't think that will ever hide the damage already created by the cleaning though.
