I'd say VF-25. I don't like the nicks on the obverse, you may be able to find a better example.

F-15 to VF 20. The coin does not appear to have been cleaned or altered...but photos are notorious for hiding some flaws while making others appear worse than they actually are. This coin appears weakly struck. The date is weak compared to the rest of the details on the obverse. I see similar weakness on the reverse. The coin is OK...but not worth a premium! IMHO

Also this coin may be the slanted "5" variety.

VF details, couple of heavy nicks, looks like some light corrosion on the reverse.

It is definitely a slanted 5 variety but that doesn't bring the price of the coin up any (atleast not as far as I know) |

Looks like VF20 to me and I also think this has been cleaned due to the high spots looking a little pinkish which is usually a dead give away on copper.The nicks in the fields are a little to much for my liking but that's just my opinion.

No extra value for the slanted 5 variety. I just thought I'd point it out.

I agree with the VF20 consensus.

from the coins I've looked at on e-bay vf 20 is close and it's hard to tell about cleaning because of the picture angles
