Hi Folks
First I know that these are common. Just trying to get some opinions on a possible grade. Also does it appear to have environmental damage. Thanks for any info

Quite heavily toned, which in this case doesn't help very much.
Perhaps there is only a tiny amount of wear on the high points, I can't fully make up my mind about that, because of the toning.
Rims unmarked.

I think it is in the XF range. The detail is lacking, especially on the obverse in the hair and by the mouth.

XF40/XF45 due to circulation wear .. the heavy toning is hiding many circulation blemishes.

OK Thanks. Even in hand it is difficult to tell. Just trying to learn anyone think that maybe it was artificially toned to hide any wear or damage.

The toning is what you would expect for a 100 year old silver commemorative and is fine.
