VF30, They weren't looking for beauty when they made these they just needed coinage.
Cheers, Bill

EF-40? I get the feeling that it's going to be higher than I think... as is usually the case with these tokens. Hard to determine what's a product of the strike vs wear

With my apologies...I was able to clean up the white chatter on that earlier photo. Didn't think of it until this morning, and I just managed a few minutes ago to come up with this improved shot. My bad. Of course, you should all feel free to revise your estimate. (Not too much is on the line here, right?) Wash your hands! Tom

I know nothing about this series but usually grade has a feel to it. I'll go with VF-30 strictly on the strength of the reverse, the latter making any assessment below VF, a puzzle.

If this was a VF coin, there would be dings and marks on the letters and the rim. I don't see any. I also don't see any marks in the fields. I'm also rereading the original post where it was mentioned the the dies were "re used" or "abused". This coin looks worn, but I believe thats its really a mint state coin.
MS-62(ish) final answer.

Quote:Kind of depends on which TPG no? NGC, by the white prongs holding the coin. Tokens are a different animal when it comes to grading and condition. I think this is an AU coin.

Envelope, Please! And the winner is...  These don't show themselves very often, so I consider myself fortunate to have this one in my collection. There's another example coming up in the July Heritage sale of Part II of the Doug Robins collection. Also NGC-slabbed, it's graded MS-61 BN. Not sure it's that much better looking than mine, so if you'd like to come back and pitch in with your own comparison, here's their brightened-up de-browned image:
