I have this one marked as VF30! In your opinion do you think it has a chance at EF40?

Thanks to every one that will give their opinion!

A little higher than 30 but would not make 40. Nice DP1

It's very close to today's 40 grades out there.. but the marks don't help in this case.. ..

The 'slightly worn' cents have graded up from what we've seen in the past few years..

Maybe worth a stab...

You would be surprised at what NGC puts in a 40 slab...or even higher..

Its on the verge between VF-30 and XF-40, but if I had to choose I probably would lean towards XF just because of the detail of the obverse.

I agree Vf-30 it could make EF-40 but it has a lot of chatter in the fields I think dropping it down to a VF-30

VF30 for me as well. Too much distraction and there's that big mark on the reverse as well. Nice DP9

Still a nice coin regardless
