Not the best pictures, I know. so forgive me.

I was thinking maybe somewhere in the high VF range. Looks like it might have had a wiping or two, but its hard to tell.

Despite the photo, I see that the band on either side of "LIBERTY" is complete.
(The lower one is prone to wearing out before the upper.)
The split on the knot in the bow on the reverse above the mint mark is not only complete but also shows three-dimensionality.
The surface is not at all unattractive.
A solid very fine.

Looks close to EF. Is the color shown accurately? It seems unnatural and the surface quality is dull and lifeless. The reverse denticles also looks a bit weak considering the otherwise strong details.

It's a better date in high circulated grade but does not look original in these photos.

No idea if the color is accurate in these photos. They're from an auction that I ended up not winning.
