    What do you think - It looks like it has interesting bag type toning AND some book toning and what do you think on grade ... Again forgive my lack of Photographic skills .. it was a quickie :)

    Nice coin and cool toning. Looks VF-30 to me.

    I think it might go EF and would be a good buy for VF money. It looks like some of the mint luster is still present. I can't tell from the photo if some of the dark areas are toning or some sort of grime.

    That's a great VF coin!

    p.s. it looks more album toned to me.

    I agree with leadfoot, it appears to be album toning and not bag toning just based on album toned coins I own. I would call it VF-30, but a TPG would prob go XF-40 on it.

    That looks like a lot of food on the table and heat for the house this winter.

    I would say it's VF but there is not a doubt in my mind that PCGS would slab that coin XF45.

    It's a beautiful circulated coin with nice color and only one mark on it, as I can see. The eagles left wing seems to have a scratch near the M in AMERICA but it's a coin I'd be proud to own.

    The reason I mention baggy (tone) is the reverse almost has a cross hatch patching to the tone where it looks like it was reverse against the bag. The edges to me look like book tone ...

    Nice looking coin. Congratulations on the purchase!

    I would give it an XF-40 based on the photo.
