    I call this "Gimme A Grade" as I'm not completely sure about this one, and GTG really doesn't fit for raw coins. I think it's in the AU range, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

    I'm thinking more like XF45 OR , possibly AU50 at best. No luster. Weak hair and weak numeral 3.

    Grading is not my specialty, but I cannot imagine it being higher than XF with how much wear is on the lines of the numeral III.

    XF at best but I’m more at a VF due to the west on the reverse, specifically the III inside the wreath. It also looks to be a details grade as it’s been cleaned.
