VF-25/30. I agree that the toning looks a little funky.

Put me down for VF25 and no opinion on the surfaces.

I think it could make VF-30.

The sharpness grade is VF-25, but the toning has reached the point where it is now what can be called damage. I'd net grade this one to Fine-12 with perhaps a market value of a VG because of poor eye appeal. Coins like this are not easy to sell unless they are "bargain priced."

Try not to fill the same holes too many times - it gets very expensive.

Among your "last coins" here are some observations: 1849-57 Half Cent - Don't buy anything below EF. In fact EF is a low grade for this type. 1851 and 1853 are the common dates. Seated dollar - Many have been worked on, and the Chinese have made many counterfeits. Certification is strongly recommended. Trade dollar - DO NOT buy a raw, uncertified piece. There are many counterfeits. Don't even think about buying a raw coin, even if you must crack it out of the slab. |

My buddy has a 1877 s AU PCGS Trade dollar but it's details via cleaning......he's asking $280....if it wasn't cleaned I'd pay that all day. Bill you got any Half Cents or Seated dollars you have to maybe help me out? |

Looks VF-25 to me. Did you try acetone to get some of that black off?
