I'm Leaning toward EF-45 details. Interesting color.

i will say that when I bought it, 20+years ago, it was labelled UNC. I didn't agree with that grade, but for $4.75, it didn't really matter to me. I'll post new pics with better lighting as soon I can.

I'm leaning toward EF-45 but a better picture might prove some of the rough areas to be sharper than they look in these pictures. Interesting coloring, the pattern on the obverse has a lighter portion at the top, and so does the reverse...does this mean the coin has a 180 degree rotation? Hmmmmmmmmmm..........

here's a couple new pics...I'm still trying to get a better shot of the obv.   the color is definitely "off" in the original pics. these new ones are more true to life. Edited by jedichef

With the new pics, I'll give it AU-53, nice coin.  Just goes to show how the pics can make quite a difference.  |

I wish mine looked half as nice! Great pick up and price even for 20+ years ago! Congrats on your nice VDB!

Is that the same coin? The obverse in the latest picture looks very close to MS. The reverse drags this coin down a bit. It appears to be soft struck to the point of looking like circulation wear.

definitely the same coin. it's the only vdb I have. yes, the rev is definitely weakly struck. most evident along the upper portion, along the motto and "ONE"

Could indeed be MS. BTW, look upper-ear. At one point, we had hundreds of these. That upper-ear isn't circulation wear, it's rather a different, less-defined, die. If you look at a lot of these, you'll notice, there's another die that shows much better detail in that area. You also have strong initials (what would otherwise be described as, a "strong V.D.B."). |

Rofl the first pics were so dark that I thought you had some rare black planchet error :D

Looks no less than AU to me. I think it might go UNC.
A great specimen in any event!
