I paid $18-I know I overpaid, but I loved the toning at the right of the Obv. My picture doesn't catch it as well.

It's a bit of a sleeper date, so I don't think the price is too bad. VF-25 or VF-30.

I will give you a better grade. VF-35!
Would be better if IN GOD WE TRUST didn't have those wear.

I will agree with rachums107 on paying a little too much. It is a good looking coin, a sleeper as well but it doesn't jump to $18.00 until xf-40 with the fmv of numismedia price guide. But like rachums107 has said is the toning doesn't show up in the pic, which might lift it higher.

It wasn't a bargain, but I don't get worked up over a few bucks when you're talking about a coin with original surfaces and the look you want. Not all coins of a given grade are equal, and tastes differ. If you like this coin better than some other with the same grade but different color or whatever, it's worth a premium for the one you want.

Mid to high VF. You probably paid right on the nose. No steal, but not paying through the nose either. I'd take it.
