A little nicer than VF30 so VF35. IMO. Better pics would help.

those pictures make it look polished and that could be just by the photos but will wait for the new pictures before making any judgment

XF 45 or better for detail but the brightness does say polished.

It looks polished with around EF-45 details.

Polished or over-dipped AU-50 details

I would certainly agree with AU50 details and some polishing. Carry it in your pocket for a while. XD

Detail is higher than it looked in fist pics but still would not go as high as AU....XF 45. Unfortunately agree with the polishing.

I knew when I picked it up that it had been polished. But, I couldn't resist the variety & price. Quote: Carry it in your pocket for a while. I thought about that. But, I was worried about losing more detail. Is there another way to try and lose some of the polishing?

It should re-tone overtime. You could speed up the process by providing the right conditions though.

This looks to me to be an EF-45 details/polished example of O-101 (R1) (1811/10, punctuated 18.11). Quote: Carry it in your pocket for a while. I would NEVER carry this around in my pocket. IMO: If you keep it in your pocket, it will continue to polish and you will lose the details you have now.

I agree but, Moe look at the T-I relationship. Looks like the I is not centered. Maybe thats just the angle of the photo?

Quote: I agree but, Moe look at the T-I relationship. Looks like the I is not centered. Maybe that's just the angle of the photo? I finally came to that conclusion and went with O-101. The only other 18.11 die marriage (at least that I know of) is the O-102 (R4). It had the same Obverse die but a different Reverse die as O-101. The I under T in the O-102 is much farther right than the OP's reverse picture shows. Also there is an extension of the top (#1) horizontal line on the reverse shield out into the right wing. I don't see that in the OP's picture. So, I guess I'll stick with O-101 (R1) for now...
