I do not have this in hand yet but curious what you think based on the pictures. I have this at XF-40 looks like it would straight grade to me from the pics. I had to snap this one up in A hurry . If you know vams you know this one.

That's a high-dollar VAM for sure! Congrats.

EF-40 seems reasonable to me and yeah, that's a 4 figure coin by the VAM value guide.

I'm at XF45

the 89(O)'s are known for weak strikes so I need to give some lenience with the hair over the ear and the breast. barring those areas the coin looks 45 to me

Coin arrived today. It has a little more luster than A XF-40
Looking at it I think Panzaldi may be right .
I think she will grade XF-45 Straight Grade .
