Beautiful, original, semi-key date. That is a fantastic coin. I voted VF-35, but it is a really nice one. I think it has just a tad too much wear for 40, and I would like to see at least hints of luster for a 40. Very nice coin!
I don't collect these but I feel it just a bit too much wear for a 40 so I went 35. I'll split the difference at 37.5 but I've never seen that grade. lol Definitely a nice key date as it's clean.
I was torn between 35 and 40. Personally I don’t think it’s got that much wear especially in the fields and is more strike. And it has a decent amount of trace luster. I went 40
I voted VF 35 ....I believe at least a trace of luster is needed for XF (but maybe that's just me reading Insider's posts from how grading used to work ).
