Newest addition to my collection. Any help in grading would be appreciated. I would like to compare with what was marked on the coin by the dealer. I know the grade on the 2x2 was not correct, especially since I bought the coin for less than half of what it was marked. Thanks!

The details look EF to me but it's dinged up somewhat so I'll guess VF35.

I agree with EF-40 in terms of wear. The color looks original and the marks are mostly minor. The most significant to me is the cut through E of LIBERTY but that one is still too small to qualify as "damage". This coin should obviously be priced a bit below the cost of a mark-free example.
Rest in Peace

I really dig that coin! Nice and original, and a solid EF in my book. A few marks don't really bother me. Nice purchase!

I would agree with EF-40 and not let the oops on the E bother me.
NICE COIN

I'd call it VF-35. The obverse looks better than that but the reverse is a little more worn.

It's a nice looking circulated coin. Great addition.
