XF-45 details, but it looks way over-dipped or polished or something. Someone else can chime in on the authenticity.

I'd actually put the details around AU-50. The details of Liberty and Eagle reverse look right, but the overall look of the coin doesn't look right to me. If it's genuine it's been cleaned / polished. Maybe even painted. Might want to take a magnet to this one.

XF-45 with the cleaned caveat... Tough to find one that hasn't had "something" done to it..

It has close to AU details but the heavy polishing/harsh cleaning have left it damaged. In the days of net grading for value? F12 and that's still $300 for this coin.

It probably would be even higher on ebay given that they like shiny coins so much.

I highly suspect a polished "copy". The denticles should be uniform and they are not. Would guess the weight to be around 22gr.

Hello again. Sorry for not getting back to the Fourm right away, My digital scale came in today.
The coin weighs in at 26.67g. Has the nice ring sound when dropped, and a magnet has no effect.

I believe that this is my 3rd posting in roughly a Years time of being a member, but I read the fourm everyday at work and felt that you were the "Guys" to ask, from what I've read you all pretty much know your Coin's.

I want to say Thank You again to all of you who responded to my question.

Given that information, plus the appearance of the coin, I'd say that in all likelyhood it is genuine. However, it has been harshly cleaned and would probably grade at an XF45 on the details
