Opinions on the grade and/or value of this coin are encouraged. It's a hard piece for me to determine a grade. Krause lists a pretty substantial price jump from F to VF.
Enjoy the pics, & thanks for looking in.

The Very Fine (VF) coin will have about 75% of the original detail
visible. Or, on a coin with no inner detail, there will be moderate wear
over the entire coin. Corners of letters and numbers may be weak. A
small grading area will have about 66% of the original detail.
For Fine (F), there will be about 50% of the original detail visible. Or,
on a coin with no inner detail, there will be fairly heavy wear over all of
the coin. Sides of letters will be weak. A typically uncleaned coin will
often appear as dirty or dull. A small grading area will have just under
50% of the original detail.
On the Very Good (VG) coin, there will be about 25% of the original
detail visible. There will be heavy wear on all of the coin.
The Good (G) coin's design will be clearly outlined but with substantial
wear. Some of the larger detail may be visible. The rim may have a
few weak spots of wear.
On the About Good (AG) coin, there will typically be only a silhouette
of a large design. The rim will be worn down into the letters if any.
Strong or weak strikes, partially weak strikes, damage, corrosion,
attractive or unattractive toning, dipping or cleaning should be
described along with the above grades. These factors affect the quality
of the coin just as do wear and loss of detail, but are easier to describe.


i would have thought you would be lucky to make fine I would have though VG would be more appropriate
