In-hand pictures. Would you keep it if you had $40 in it?

Looks to grade at XF-45 Cleaned. XF-45 wholesale is $120. I don't hang onto coin so I'd sell it

Agree EF-45, but not sure it's been cleaned.

XF40 technical grade, VF35 eye appeal. The obverse has some interesting cracks going on. There's always demand from type set collectors, $40 seems reasonable.

XF40. may have been cleaned but lighting could be deceptive

Unless you want to upgrade this one looks OK as a decent type coin. I'd expect you could sell it for more than $40 and you could then put that money towards a finer example.

It's a nice example, my first impression is XF. Is it in a 2x2? Hard to tell what the surface looks like.
