<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mac266, post: 2200972, member: 26371&quot;]I&#039;m looking at my copy of the ANA grading book.&nbsp; I vehemently disagree with the poster who said it&#039;s AG.&nbsp; The description in my book of AG is, &quot;OBVERSE:&nbsp; Rim is worn down into stars and/or date.&nbsp; Seated figure is outlined, but little or no other detail shows.&nbsp; REVERSE:&nbsp; Rim is worn down into legend.&nbsp; Wreath is outlined but no leaf detail shows.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>That isn&#039;t even close to what we&#039;re looking at here.&nbsp; In fact, by comparing pics and descriptions, I&#039;m going with EF-40.&nbsp; Here is the description:&nbsp; &quot;OBVERSE:&nbsp; Light wear shows on high points, especially leg, breast and arm above shield.&nbsp; REVERSE:&nbsp; Light wear shows on high points of wreath and bow.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The grade below, VF-30, says &quot;Liberty usually is rather sharp.&quot;&nbsp; In this case, not only is liberty sharp, but the lines in the shield are still present.&nbsp; The lines in the shield are gone by VG-8.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it technically grades, in my opinion, at EF-40.&nbsp; Market grading I&#039;m not so good at.&nbsp; At first I thought the coin might be cleaned because of some hairlines in the fields of the obverse, especially to the right, but I don&#039;t really think so.&nbsp; The reverse has too much toning left to have been a cleaned coin.&nbsp; Can you tell me more about the hairlines?&nbsp; If the coin is damaged, it&#039;s an EF-40 DETAILS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
