Nice F to VF VDB. Not a bad piece for that price!

Because of the wear in the top right lines on the reverse I would give this coin a 35 out of 70. Nice coin for a nice price.

35 sounds a little harsh for the coin after I looked it over a little more. 40 sounds better.

The dark color is throwing grading off.
XF to AU. Would like to see a picture with more light to look at how much the beard, cheek, and ear are worn.

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.  |

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.
