    I realize this coin has been cleaned, or at least I thought so, but I was wondering what grade it would be based upon the details of the coin? Any input/opinions would be appreciated. :) I have my own opinion on the grade, but I wanted a second opinion.

    EF-40 to EF-45. The only luster remaining is in protected areas. I see definite wear on the obverse on Liberty's wings, hair and neckline and on the reverse on the fasces bands and olive leaves. I'm leaning EF-40.

    XF details - over-dipped.

    Is it me, or are the crevices around the S mintmark a dead giveaway too?

    You're right in a way. Those aren't crevices, that's gunk that was not removed by the dip.

    Hard to tell from one set of photos, but I'm leaning toward's G's take on the coin -- overdipped XF/AU liner coin.

    I should have had more clarity with my question. That's what I was alluding too also. Thanks.

    I was also thinking some where in the high EF region. I was just curious what you all thought...I found this in a junk bin at a dealer and paid spot for it. (I guess maybe because of the dipping but I was surprised to find one with such nice details in there)
