High VF, probably 35. I like the color but the darkness around the devices might indicate a cleaning, although I see no signs of mechanical cleaning. Lovely and a happy addition to a nice collection.

VF35 seems about right to me, too. The bit of wear to the word "LIBERTY" and the dings on the face might knock it down to VF30.

I do not see enough wear for it to be VF-30; it looks at least VF-35.

I continue to rate this as a 40 based on the hair detail, which is virtually complete and exceeds any grading pic for a VF 35 that I have seen.

Hmm, looking at this coin again, I think I was too harsh on it when I first graded it. I can see this coin being EF-40.
