This is obviously graded by NGC, so let me know what you think it would grade by ICCS standards and NGC. Thinking of cracking it out. Thanks!

Nice everything minus the braid, I can see why your second guessing. I agree with DBM vf30, too bad the wear is heavy in key area.

Too much wear on braid to be higher.

Thanks for the thoughts. NGC had it as EF40. I feel it is more likely a VF30, as many have stated. It's cracked now and in my collection. Thanks again!

Either a VF-20 or VF-30 I really see to much wear for any higher. however it is a possibility for a EF but I doubt it. nice coin though!
