Care to take a stab at it? The light scratch lines showing are in the holder.

These are really nohope's area of expertise !!

But I will show my ineptness and give it a shot .

I can tell you the color of the coin makes it difficult to detect wear ,, a little bigger would be good also !!



EF-45 possibly AU-50

I think it is a 60 or a 61. It is rare to see a clear, not worn "We" in the motto and it looks like lots of mint luster.

Woohoo! So Terry, do you need my address so you will know where to send it? LOL. That was a very lucky educated guess but I will take it (the guess that is).

if you had a Bryan1315 decoder ring you could see I was calling it a MS-64 but without it my thread looked like a bunch of jumbled up mess because I was trying to watch tv and think about what was on there and type to and got a bunch of jumbled up mess on here, sorry about that

Its not easy to see from your Pictures but the Left arrow looks a little flat the leaves on the left side also look a little worn but this could just be dirt. There appears to be a nick under the E I would call it a strong AU58 though by todays grading standards it could easily make MS60/62 I think. The 8 has a little deformed area on the right. Check the S and T for any signs of Doubling. When I get home and back to my books I should be able to identify the variety. Unfortunately I can't remember off the top of my head. A very nice coin please keep me in mind if you ever want to part with it.
