    Many thanks

    I say AU.

    I don't want to assign a number unless I could look at it in person. Might be a details grade coin, but I just can't tell from pictures.

    You don't see high grade Barber coinage very often. Thanks for sharing!

    XF for me but I'm really interested in what appears to be die cracks on the reverse at 4,5 and 10 positions. Another pic with different lighting might be of help.

    I have to go with SensibleSal66 on this one EF-40. Nice tone, nice coin.

    Low to mid AU for me. Liberty lower band line is complete, corn and wheat kernels distinct with little flattening. Does it show any luster or color in that toning?

    The die cracks appear to be on their way to bisecting the coin. Nice example.
