I agree it should make XF. It looks pretty nice with the only exception being the stain? on the reverse.

Super example for $30 that grades an easy EF-40. A little tougher date to boot. Congratulations.

Agree E-40, but tell us what's going on with that spot on the reverse.

im at XF40 also, majority of stars show full detail on a 35 majority will not. also, majority of leaves show veins. you wont see this on a 35. most of them will not have veins still showing. fully defined vertical lines are also a signature of a 40 coin

Thanks guys for the info, I'm not sure what the stain is. I'm looking into getting a digital camera, just a ok one, that way I can get close up pictures.

That's a good price for this coin. I'd say it's an XF.
