Genuine, EF40ish from these really poor lo-rez photos.
I would not purchase without seeing better pics.

I didn't think fake either. Pics are not the greatest but some of the coins details look even better than EF-40 to me. At any rate if I buy it it will be for considerably less than XF money.

Cleaned perhaps, but not fake.

This is not fake and I would say EF40.

Using PCGS photograde, On the obverse I see the flatness on the leg but the head detail and the fingers on the pole push it to AU-53 for me. On the reverse I see it as XF-45 with these pics. Net Graded, I call it AU-50 and possible details if cleaned but I can't determine that from these pics.

Thanks for the input everyone. Nobody threw out a guess as to what the coin might be worth. I did manage to buy it at less than F-12 price on Numismedia so I feel I did ok.

Sounds like the seller had a good look at the coin if they let it go for that price.

coin was auctioned so seller doesn't have much control over final selling price if no minimum is set.

I just noticed that line on the shield from top of shield through the banner of liberty. Any chance of getting a large clear pic of that area?

Nice snag, as usual IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
