<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 809552, member: 5454&quot;]Please excuse my rough grading exercise.&nbsp; Do you have any books to go by?</p><p>I believe one of the recent issues of Coin Values or Coin World has an article on grading this very series.&nbsp; I am too lazy to get up and find it.</p><p>However I do have a redbook right here.&nbsp; The redbook says for XF 40</p><p>[also called EF meaning extra fine] &quot;eagle&#039;s feathers all plain but with slight wear on breast and wing tips&quot;.&nbsp; So looking at your coin I would say that the eagle&#039;s breast has more than just &quot;slight&quot; wear.&nbsp; Not looking at anything else mind you, I would venture your coin is not of EF/XF quality.</p><p>The next grade down is vf 35.&nbsp; Not saying it is a 35.&nbsp; What throws me off about the reverse is that the wing tips look decent.</p><p>You also have to consider the obverse.&nbsp; What I am thinking here is this coin may end up with a composite/net grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
