EF-40 and I think the cleaning was done long ago and it will now straight grade.

XF details, parallel cleaning lines on both sides cannot be ignored

psuman08 if you go through a bunch of these you'll see that there are many that probably should have detailed that are in straight holders. heres one graded XF40 straight by PCGS plus most of those parallel lines you are seeing on the coin are from die polishing  Edited by panzaldi

XF Details, but a 50-50 shot whether it straight grades or not. I would purchase it assuming cleaned, because it is. The single lamp lighting may be accentuating the hairlines so it is hard to say for certain what it looks like in hand. Quote:

Additionally, if there were, they would disappear much before the coin reached the XF-40 grade. They are hairlines. Suffering from bust half fever.

This one probably looks real good in hand. The cleaning is not as obvious as the PCGS example panzaldi used.

XF Details. No way this straight grades at PCGS.

They were made with completely different processes, designed by two different engravers, and graded through totally different perspectives. The reeded edge series is seen cleaned much more often, so reeded edges get more leniency by the grading services than the earlier reeded edge halves. Suffering from bust half fever.

Thanks for the feedback, all. It sold for $291, quite a bit more than I was willing to go for what I think is a details coin.
