I'm wavering between VF30-35, but if you held a gun to my head I'd call it a really nice 30. Excellent original coin, and precisely in the grade area and look I'm collecting. Have you attributed it? I know the Large 8 version (as it seems to be in your pics) of that overdate has only O-101 and O-103, but I do not know the markers to differentiate them as I've yet to buy the book.

I think if you were trying to sell it, it would be an EF-40. I'm sure I've seen bust halves marked EF in this condition.

But I don't have my photograde handy at work...

I'd call it VF20. There is a little too much wear on the eagle's wings and talons for me to any higher. This is a very nice example.

By the way, the larger pictures are much easier to grade from. Thanks.

My first reaction was EF....looking closer I would agree that there is a little too much wear on reverse for EF. My guess is VF-35.

I would say it has nice eye appeal for the grade.

Nice coin
