Sometimes they get pretty lenient on these older coins - I will swag VF30.
Congrats on completing the set.
Original or not - I like the way it looks in the pictures. Nice pickup.
I think yours is XF based off the scans and assuming original surfaces. Nice pickup - gotta love the over dates and clashing you see in the bust...

I have seen this with toned and in-toned coins - some cheap some not so cheap. They sell at one price on ebay then come back at a much higher...
