Congrats on finding what looks like a nice original example, tough coin! I'm on the lookout for one of these too, also in VF. Looks like the...
Mighty nice for a 40!
I was at the "chopmark summit" and saw some amazing things including the finest set of chopmarked trade dollars. One person had a number of coins...
Pickin and Grinin has a point.. may be one of those "AU 63s"
As pointed out earlier, AU grades are all about wear and remaining luster, and I have a really hard time assessing the remaining luster on this...
certainly a worthwhile, and achievable goal. With the exception of the Big Kahuna date, I've completed mine after about 8 years of fairly lazy...

Really nice, on solid, non porous metal, very scarce as such! I'm not going to embarrass myself by trying to GTG, LOL, I'm terrible at old copper.
The lines on Liberty's cheek are from the "drawing bench" used to flatten the silver strips to uniform thickness prior to planchets being punched....
I don't see why it wouldn't go 67 if the luster booms. cool bonus if it's a new RPM!
30 seems about right.
