 to CCF. This is not series I know well but....I would go VF30 details. The rim dings, scratch and light cleaning hold this one back a bit imo...Very nice coin Edited by amida17

Too much wear to make EF but looks solid for VF-30 or so (better than VF-20, not as good as EF-40). It probably has been cleaned based on the color, but not too harshly. The scratches and hits are noticeable but not severe.
The O mintmark at the bottom of the wreath confirms this is a product of the New Orleans mint. The New Orleans coin is worth a bit more than the Philadelphia (no mintmark) and San Francisco (S mintmark) coins also minted in 1891.

VF25 details - cleaned. I love the die break through the head - looks like liberty is wearing a novelty arrow through the head piece!

A bit to much wear to make an EF grade. I'll go with VF-30

Looks to be about VF-30/35 or so. The coin does appear to be a tad bit on the bright side.
