My mom bought this for me at the ANA show yesterday for my birthday. $50 for it, and seeing some prices on the PCGS auction prices realized, that doesn't seem like too bad a price. Thoughts on grade and the price? Thanks for looking!

Agree on XF40 - compare the PCGS photograde shots

Notice the distinctness of the letters on the XF40 reverse and the wear of the wreath (whichever design it is) is only high points...
