I picked this up raw for $20. How would you grade it? I took the picture through the 2x2. I see no issues with this coin.   |

I'd say a nice, problem-free VF-20. Nice buy!

VF-20, and it is an N-1 (Newcomb-1) based on the 1 and 8. Looks like a nice, no problem coin, and it is an R1.

Nice no problem VF-20. Usually by the time an LC circulated long enough to get down to this grade they have plenty of marks, hits, and rim dings.
Yours is a happy exception. Congratulations on a nice example.

I'm at VF25 due to the eye appeal of this coin. I think it would make A-grade within the grade. Very nice.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

 with the above & a great pickup at the price. 1840-1845 are quite difficult to find in mid grades without major issues. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |
