<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 630029, member: 19165&quot;]No, the rim on the obverse looks funny because of glare on the mylar plastic holder. There is no rim damage. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was probably dipped, but I see no signs of harsher cleaning. I say this mostly because of the lighter color. </p><p><br /></p><p>The tremendous amounts of luster on this coin generally indicate the grade is going to be at least high VF, more like EF. I personally grade this coin EF-40, like Mark. There is certainly no way anyone who knows how to grade these coins is going to call it less than VF+. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think what is throwing some of you off is the strike, which is somewhat weak, coupled with somewhat worn dies on the obverse. The clasp, which alot of people look at for grading, as well as some of the hair curls, are weak. This can fool you. Look instead at the lighter areas on her cleavage, cheek, and hair curls, and on the left wing of the eagle on the reverse. These areas are clearly different colored than the surrounding areas, and are the places you look for wear. Based on the wear and the luster, this is a nice EF coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>And you are also wrong on the Overton.
