    As with my other recent GTG polls, I’ll reveal the grade after 20 or so votes have been tallied in the poll.

    Commentary is welcome.

    Given the high point wear,yet the details on the clasp the "j" is clearly sen Imsay Au. 50 ish but details due to damaged seen on the reverse,as well obv.
    Still an eye appealing coin that I would mine in my collection.

    i voted VF-35, but I imagine that it's in at least an EF-40 holder.

    I know the answer, I considered this one myself. That said, I think the grade is accurate, not necessarily the seller's description.

    Looks like O-106 to me, left side stars are a little flat, E P in E Pluribus Unum are weak as well as the end of UNITED, and the first 1 is high, while the other is low.

    I voted XF40.

    Not a details coin. Yes it was cleaned, but most of them were it seems. It's old enough and retoned well as to not be a details coin.

    I cast the 20th vote myself, for VF35, as I would have if I’d never seen the coin before and didn’t know the answer.

    Circulated coins are usually easier.

    I learned from the other GTG that My Lord posted, and looked and then voted BEFORE ever reading other posts or the reveal. I voted XF40, so do I win something? LOL
