I am thinking upon further reflection that the pictures I posted look worse than the actual coin does. I wonder what I did wrong? Its too bright, for one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been assembling a 19th century type set and this is the second to last coin I needed. I have seen lots of images of these graded as VF-20 (slabbed and not) and this one definately has more detail than that, and better than the VF-30 I have seen as well...but not as nice as the two EF-40s I saw images of, but as we all know grading is very subjective, and was hoping people who have seen more of these would have a better idea. </p><p><br /></p><p>This was sold as an EF-40 by a reputable dealer...but I don&#039;t think it is, but haven&#039;t seen enough to be sure. And yeah, I know at some point, probably 50-80 years ago, this guy was cleaned. Hard to find one this old that is *truly* original...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
