Although I got to BB-111 using the early dollar variety wizard, there was no weird reverse F in OF in this die pair's reverse die. The same reverse die was used for die pairs BB-110, 111, 112 and 113. Let me know if you end up in another variety for this coin's markers.  http://www.earlydollars.org/wizarddate3.htm |

@numismatic student, The clash is interesting. Here's an overlay of your coin, assuming properly aligned dies. How's the die alignment?  |

I don't have the coin in hand but here are shots of the obverse and reverse in the slab which may give an idea. Maybe rotated 10-20 degrees?   |

I wish there was a better way to show how lustrous this coin looks in hand.   |

I'm a little surprised the coin graded straight. XF45 is correct imo

I suggest to cross it over and ask for conservation. Downgrade be damned.
It would be much worse if the verdigris continues to spread and completely ruins a great coin.

You have bought some wonderful things of late. This is not a favorite.  |

In terms of how the coin looks in hand, this one is fast becoming one of my favorites. |

Looking at the in-hand photos, I have to bump my grade estimate to EF-45. I think ANACS got it right. I'm surprised by the luster. The seller's pics didn't show that!
Just a thought, but what if you sent it back to ANACS to be conserved and reholdered? Would a conserved EF-45 be easier to cross over? There's always the downside risk of damage during conservation, though.

Personally, I couldn't get past the reverse. Not a fan. You're pics are definitely better than the sellers, sellers pics make it look far worse than it apparently is. I'd also agree with XF45.
