This was an ebay purchase from a couple years back. I just got around to taking new photos and I think these images capture the in-hand appearance accurately. I'm thinking VF-30 and I don't see any problems. How do our CCF graders see this coin?

I don't see a thing to argue with regarding your opinion. It's probably a 35, market-graded.

nice one

i am all in at VF+ in the 30 range
the reverse is a bit stronger than the obverse
the pole fades a bit too much into the drapery of her arm which I believe halts it from going to a VF35
a touch of extra wear on LIBERTY

great type coin, New Orleans with the arrows, oh yea!

Conservative VF-30. It might stretch to 35 on a good day.

VF-30 though it could possibly go VF-35. Nice!
