Seems like the 45s have it so I'll break with the crowd: XF40.

I don't usually go for coins that toned, but it is a nice coin.

This is a beauty! Depending on the day and who graded it, this is between 40 and 45. If it were mine, I'd slap a 45 on it and sleep good at night.  Quote:
XF45 decent eye appeal. I find the toning a bit grungy. I would hate to see this coin white. Toning is subjective, but this is a beautiful coin to a seasoned collector of older pieces. I wouldn't change a thing about this coin even if I could. |

EF 40 in my opinion with nice eye appeal.

Jpbone I agree and understand. I believe that the black toning near the rims is a bit meh. But otherwise nice

EF-40. It appears to have had an old harsh cleaning and retoned in an album.

This one came back as damaged unfortunately. Perhaps the reverse marks above the wing? Genuine XF Details (98 - Damage)  Edited by Jadey

Probably a mix if an old cleaning and the scratch above the wing. Not a bad looking coin.

Yeah, probably the gouges above the eagle's right wing. Very nice, and it doesn't seem like it deserves a details designation.

you cant see that scratch on the reverse in the original photos.
imo even if cleaned I think it has re-toned and should have graded straight. the only thing I can think of is that they determined those marks were done intentionally. they would have assigned a 97 if it wasnt.

I just noticed that the holder lists it as "Surfaces Smoother, while the online system lists it as damaged.

On enlarging the image, there's also a scratch in the right obverse field.
