I would go VF-30.
Really nice example. Those are very tough to find in that condition with a decent strike. It was one of the harder coins to find for my 7070 set.

Very nice. I see this coin as a VF25. There is a little too much wear on the drapery folds and left (viewer's) wing edge for an EF grade in my opinion. I like the surfaces. They appear to be original and the cameo toning is wonderful.  I tried to attribute it with a Reiver number, but I couldn't find it. The descriptions in the reference material I have aren't the greatest, so I won't be able to help you there. Maybe I'll get a chance to look at it again in a while.  |

Great coin with original surfaces. My 1837 looks just like this and I've been extremely happy with it. Nice!

bobbymeru,
Is the coin bent? I notice increased wear on the denticles at the 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions ... as if these areas are higher.
