    The large 8 variety is much less scarce than the small 8.

    Nice coin - were it not for the obvious nicks, hairlines scratches and other defects.

    Pretty clearly a 'details' coin, BUT, if you were to assign a 'Details of X, net Y, what would Y be?

    Thanks!

    Looks like VF-35 Details to me. I'm not sure what a net grade would be.

    Looking at hair curls, bust details, the EPU ribbon, wing tips. the details are there for at least an XF40 maybe 45. I am at 35 details. Also, that reverse die looks to have a pre cud from the F thru wing tip on the reverse.

    Are the big lines on the reverse adjustment marks? I want to say XF40/45 but I'm unsure on the treatment of the spot in her neck and the rim dings... also the large scratch on the reverse fon to the "A".
