    I’ll say 30 just to be different. It may be 35.

    I voted EF-40. Part of the missing detail is due to the strike. The piece does not have enough wear to fall into theh VF category IMO.

    This coin came in exactly as I expected. There is peripheral luster buried under the toning, the exposure of which could boost the technical grade 5 points, but I don't like messing with coins, besides which removing the originality to get 5 points would be dumb.

    Why would it be dumb, if the grade could go up 5 points? Because this kind of look brings FAR MORE premium than an extra 5 points can deliver.
