    IRL this coin isn't quite this gold, but it is lightly toned. (I'm not too good with lighting for my camera). The weak (or worn) date kept my grade at VF-20. Sound about right? I've always loved this design. One of my first coins was a 1919, and something about that date always fascinated me. As always, TIA

    Detail wise it should grade VF30 in my opinion, but the coin appears to have been cleaned and polished.

    Hi,
    I don't think it has been polished, although it may have been cleaned.
    It is common for these to be weakly struck. It is also common on these coins prior to 1929 to have wear on the date. In 1929, the design was modified and the area of the date was recessed allowing the date to wear less.

    This coin looks like an XF-40 specimen based on what is normal for the strike of these coins.

    Thanks,
    Bill
