This is my best CBH so far. I know the pics won't suffice for an accurate grade but I'm itching to know if she'll make XF. My best guess at variety is O-109 so far. If anyone wants to give it a shot, feel free. I'll post better pics after it arrives. Thanks Kevin   |

Gotta go to work soon - no time for attribution - but as long as the surfaces are original I see no reason why this one doesn't reach XF easily.

There is wear on the hair above the eye, but the rest of the coin looks very nice. At least EF-40, with a shot at EF-45.

Should go XF40 without a problem.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking along the same lines, but wanted some experienced lookers. I am hoping that some of the wear turns out to be glare on the hair. Didn't know I was a poet did you.lol

Ok, I did some more checking and I am 98% sure it is the O-109 R3. Please correct me if I am mistaken here. Thanks

looks at least xf40 to me. Trying to attribute with small pictures is way too hard on my eyes. Sorry. (nothing against your photography, I just need new glasses)

It has all the diagnostics for O-109 which I can see in the photos, but the shape of the 5 seems off. I'm seeing a curve on the top bar of the 5 which would not be there with O-109, which has a triangle-shaped top bar. Do you see a die line extending from the base of the I to the C in AMERICA?

I'd also go along with 40/45. A beauty with wonderful toning.
Take Care

EF is the consensus, 40 or 45 - and I would go along with that. A nice coin with great eye appeal.
