Coinguy1986 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 5:17 pm Hey guys I pick this up the other day , I'm curious what you guys think on grade and condition .. There are a few spots around the rim that do look kind of like dings but are actually spots of a darker color making it look that way .. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 5:26 pm Nice coin. I'd say it's a solid VF-35, with a good shot at 40 (the hair is really nice). Tell me, does the obverse look somewhat brighter than the reverse, which might indicate an old cleaning? Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 5:34 pm Yeah it's right on that VF/XF line. If the coin is problem-free then I'd say XF40. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinguy1986 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 5:52 pm We'll guys really hoping for a EF coin .. Both obverse and reverse and pretty much the same color , if you hold them or get a photo at a bit of an angel their are some Gold and blue hues that show ... I've look the coin over with a loop and can't see any hairlines that would indicate a cleaning .. Here a few more photos ! I'm into this coin for about 35 bucks , so is it a keeper or should I send her back? Report this Post to the Staff

Justinwd Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 10:44 pm I'd be happy with it for what you paid. I think it's a really nice example. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinguy1986 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 01:02 am Thank guys , I do like the coin .. I do agree with you guys that it's kind of on the fence between EF and high end vf35 so for $35 I think that's not to bad :) Report this Post to the Staff
