In an small ANACS holder. What do you think?   |

Looks problem-free and there is a bit of luster hiding around the periphery. Based on the luster and sharp star detail I'd say some of the weakness in Liberty's hair and the eagle talons is strike-related rather than wear. Looks like EF-45 would be fair.
Nice example for a high-grade circulated type set!

Definitely some luster remaining. My first inclination is EF-40, though it may well be EF-45.

I think VF-35 but the coin is so uncommon problem free, that fact might have garnered a solid EF-40 grade in the earlier small holder.
Love the reverse still looks like some original mint luster has survived the years! Nice type coin!

VF-35 / XF-40
IMHO with the wear on the talons, the top of the wings & her hair, I don't think it is a 45.

ANACS said EF40 which is a fair grade. She's got beautiful blue toning that I couldn't capture in the images. The rims and dentils are amazing free of any marks or abrasions. This one was from Northeast Numismatics for $249.  |

Nice, I would leave it in the holder though, I think it might come back in a VF holder today!
Love the color and the fact it is problem free! Beautiful type coin.

Those original, small ANACS holders are great. I would leave it to ;)

I will admit I'm not familiar with all variations that may occur and even though this coin is in a holder, I don't think it is genuine. The features are all very soft, a number of the letters are misshaped, the three in the date is misshaped, there appears to be an extra leaf on the reverse, and the motto on the reverse appears to have a lot of abnormalities.
I may be wrong but I feel a reexamination would find it to be a casting.
