    Some verdigris and nicks and bumps here and there but for around $20 I though she still looked pretty good. Also thinking by date position and some other clues in Grellman's book this might be a N-37. Thoughts? AB09DE8F-000D-4F82-A505-A0D25689CE3A.jpeg 55F1DB95-73CF-47C1-B005-19E2E37C8E49.jpeg

    Great condition for $20…PCGS Photograde shows it to be XF45 (ballpark) which calculates from Numismedia/FMV to be approx. $147.00. (halfway between XF40 and AU50).

    Mighty fine acquisition…congrats!…Spark

    Thanks for all the nice comments! After further review I think its a N-40. Missed the repunching under the 1.

    Not really seeing any verdigris (which is good).
    Appears to have a misaligned die strike from 9 o'clock to 12 on the obverse.
    Coin appears slightly "oily" but that could be the photo. In F-12 it is close to a $50 coin, I think this is a win.
