Guess the grade: 1905 IHC

I pulled this out of a roll that was near the bottom of a box. It is the nicest Indian head penny that I have found out in the wild. It hasn't been graded, but if it were to be, what grade do you think it would receive? I'm guessing anywhere from a VF 20 to an XF 40. I highly doubt it's any higher than that. "LIBERTY" is easily visible. There is some wear on the reverse that is noticeable.

I'll go VF-30 no higher than VF-35

 

I agree but details; corrosion.

It's a commin date anyway.

 

It's not common in rolls or in circulation.

 

nice find

 

VF Details. Nice find

 

No, it is not.

 

VF35/EF40 but details due to the green verdigris on the obverse.

 

30. Details. I see boogers on it, too. (definitely a details because of that).

 

I have found 3 or 4 IHCs in the last few months. Also, my boss gave me an IHC that he had because he knew that I collected coins. I'm not sure if he found it in the drawer or if he already had it.
