BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/20/2013 05:05 am The coin appears cleaned in these images. The detail should make XF40 if they graded it problem-free. This is a scarce date that's likely worth $2,000 as-is. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 11/20/2013 11:05 am tough call It does look cleaned from those pics but it could also be just handling over the years that took the luster off. The reverse is stronger than the obverse. The obverse relief is rubbed down pretty good on the upper hair and the curls into the neck. I am with BH. Its EF+ reverse but slightly weaker on the obverse so net it out at maybe EF40 problem free. You say its not yours? Are you planning a buy on it? Report this Post to the Staff
vince22 Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 11/20/2013 11:48 am By the way-- It is not cleaned, at least if it was, it is deemed market acceptable by NGC. I think it is just the pictures. I probably won't get this one, but am looking into this type of coin. I'll wait for more guesses! Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 11/20/2013 12:26 pm I am guessing NGC went XF-45 on it. No luster but lots of detail Report this Post to the Staff
