Hmmmm.... Ef-40 or 45.

 

I am very comfortable in calling this coin circulated. There is definite wear on the Indian's bonnet (headband, cotton bowls and feathers) and on the eagle's wing and upper leg feathers. While a tad of mint luster remains it is a worn coin. I would grade this coin XF-45.

Also, I see no indication this coin is a counterfeit.
