I love the design of this one. They are quite expensive (I guess 200-300 €+, flawless attractive copies much higher) in AU or MS state, so I settled for this (for starters).

I think it looks quite pleasant, with honest wear without large detracting nicks or gouges (reverse field is probably the weak point).

Oh, I think that has been cleaned some time ago. Hard to find coins of this condition (circiulated) and age that haven't though.

In the US system I would suggest a VF-30 or -35, but I am not really sure. hat do you say?

Very nice example of a beatifully designed coin. I agree with VF35.
Mint state examples are still reasonably priced and well worth it.

Compared to US coins from that time they are reasonably priced for sure. :D

Corrected...my typing got the better of me...I looked at the coin again and I can't agree with VF...I see enough detail to be EF.

VF-35 for me. It's a gorgeous coin indeed. I don't know if it was cleaned or not though.
