This coin is in my almost complete 7070, and I'd like to hear comments about its grade. It was purchased raw a while ago, so I guess I'd like my mind eased on its authenticity as well!

Thank you very much for your comments and remarks -- your expertise is appreciated!

Agree mid-VF, perhaps the flash is creating the "old cleaning" look.

Thanks for the remarks. I checked it against known counterfeits photos online and thought it was genuine, but it's nice to hear that you concur.

I'm still working on my coin photography skills -- this one was taken with a USB microscope. I guess I need to dim the lights a bit!

I'd like to see some off-center flash pics.

OK, here is attempt #2 (put away the USB microscope and got the camera out -- obverse photo has some focus issues...):
