This one has a couple hits on obverse but otherwise I thought it looked pretty decent. Looks like small date variety which numismedia has a price of $132 in xf-40. I think I am good paying $70.

VF30 possibly details (cleaned) hard to tell through that haze. repost if you get her.

if you look at pcgs photo grade and other graded vf-30 cents they have noticeably more wear on the hair and the wreath on reverse. Not sure why everyone keeps saying vf-30 but I disagree. This site used to have a lot more input from people in the grading forum. Miss those days.

Going with VF30 also looks "Cleaned"; it could be due to the contrast in this picture.

I think it's close to XF-40, but not quite there on the reverse. So I'd say VF-35.

Jerry, these photos are really hazy and a little difficult to grade from. I looked at this post yesterday and decided not to comment because of the quality of the photos. I do agree that your example reflects better details than PCGS VF30 photo grade.

Please post up photos once you have it in hand.
