vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 6:28 pm I think the obverse carries it to XF. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 7:34 pm Wow, a Seated coin being carried by the obverse. Be still, my heart. I love how these tone and darken over time. Only Seated stuff does it this particular way, and the smaller denominations do it better. XF is fine for this one. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 7:37 pm OK, I can go with the EF40. My only concern is the dark color, hopefully it's just toned, and not corrosion/environment. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18689 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 8:39 pm XF40 also...I hope it looks as good in hand. For some reason I'm thinking their photos are hiding something. I hope I'm wrong. Please post new ones when you get it. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 8:53 pm Wear seems a little too pronounced for EF; I'll venture a contrarian opinion of VF-30. The toning may be natural (and not hiding any surface issues) but I don't think it enhances the eye appeal much. Hopefully the coin will prove out to be problem-free when you examine it in person.
