I posted this a long time ago and only was able to scan. Most thought it was VF 25 to XF 40 maybe. I was also told it was a O-121 small dated variety. With the better photos does everyone agree now? I am going to submit this to Anacs next week and was also wondering if the reverse rim hit will make this a details grade. Thanks in advance. There is some luster still around letters and some high points.   |

It looks XF, however...the surfaces don't quite look natural to me. the rim hit is small, but deep....not sure if ANACS would consider it a problem, or if they'd just lower the grade a bit.

I have no problems seeing the details on this coin as an easy XF. I also worry about the surfaces, though - the "halos" around the stars are a disconcerting bit of evidence that the coin may have been cleaned. Not definitive, but certainly a strong hint. I'll have to leave deciding if that rim gouge is as-struck or a postmint hit to you; it's inconclusive. And yes, that's also a danger of making it a Details coin.
Headed out to the store, so I've only a moment right now for attribution, but I kind of like O-121 for it. I'll revisit this in an hour or so when I return.

I think ANACS will net grade it XF40, the rim thing looks a bit too deep but I agree, easy solid XF details

I also agree with the surfaces not looking natural. EF-40 details.

Looks strong enough for 45. I agree with ssuperddave regarding a possible cleaning. Tough to say what snags will say about the ding. Would like to see the follow up post when you get it back

XF-details, will not slab most likely in my opinion due to a cleaning.

I have to agree with XF details.

The coin came back from ANACS. A lot of you were right on. I found it interesting they said nothing about the rim ding on the reverse. Originally we had thought VF30-35 so at least we got the grade higher and the coin is very nice looking and not severely cleaned. thanks all.  |

Nice. Fairly slabbed. Below a certain level of circulation, rim dings can be acceptable consequences of commerce, and get a more liberal evaluation by TPG's. I never even considered it when evaluating this one.
