I'll take a stab at it. Looks AU 53 theres just a bit of wear on the typical places. Great looking coin by the way.

Some hairlines indicate past cleaning, which is not uncommon on these. As for a grade, looks like a low AU 50-53.

I will guess EF-40, possibly a EF-45. It may have received a light cleaning some time ago. Very neat coin!  Was this a recent pickup? |

I'm more in the VF 35 to XF 40 range on this one.

A very interesting coin with a great history!! I would grade this beauty at VF35, possibly EF40. A nice one!!  |

I'm thinking EF-40, not sure if it has been cleaned or not, hard to tell with the lighting of the photo. Looks like it has a nice die clash through wing on the right side, appears to be Liberty's arm.

I sent this coin to NGC for grading using a new NGC Membership grading coupon. The grade it received was vf30, I believe it should be more. A few points raises the price a lot. Would you chance sending it to PCGS in hopes of a higher grade? I believe the coin has to be all it can be. I just let my NGC membership expire and bought the PCGS membership. I wonder if the new membership earlybird gradings are looked upon as less than the coin should be, what are your thoughts? Ed

i dunno
even the gallop poll in the thread split it into a VF range
i think, unless the lighting was bad, the appeal of the surface bought it down a bit
it looks a bit wiped at some point in these pics and I think you might go 35 with PCGS but you could also details grade which would kill it
if its worth at least what you paid its a long term commodity investment right now and its in a very reputable slab which is a plus
the die clash is tremendous as indian said
sweet coin

VF-30 is a fair grade and you will risk getting a details grade. |

Did NGC attribute it as a CSA coin? I would let it remain in the NGC holder I have heard that PCGS is tougher on coins.

XF.40 and the value would be around 130 dollars.

"XF.40 and the value would be around 130 dollars."
If it truly NGC-30 WITH the designation CSA then the value is 5-6x that amount.
