CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 12/29/2015 5:12 pm I will start it off.. I grade it XF-40. The obverse is XF-45 to me, reverse would be closer to VF-35. For obverse to go into the 30s you would need half the horizontal lines gone, and on this coin it appears only 1/4 are gone. You also want to look at the vertical shield lines, yours are starting to wear. The wear on the stars doesn't usually start until 45 and below. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18668 Posts	Posted 12/29/2015 6:28 pm My first thought was XF40 due to amount of wear on the top of the shield but I think a case could be made for a 45 grade. Report this Post to the Staff
