Looking through my Grandfathers old coin collection and came across this. I think this is a far 6. Please let me know if this is a near 6. Also does anyone know if the die crack is a variety? I see a crack between the D&E and also between the A&T. Also what type of grade would you give this coin? Pretty new to this Thanks!

It looks like a Far 6 and based on the photo I would grade it EF. I don't know if the die crack is a variety maybe someone knows. Very nice coin though.

I don't know what eyes I was using before but looking at the coin a second time I would change my grading to VF because of the wear on the crown Jewels. Grading photos is a shot in the dark at best.
