Another ebay pick up. Grade opinions please. I know the photos are small but they are the size I could get off ebay.

Thanks in advance,
Blair

My guess is xf but I've never seen examples of this coin before. I think you posted it in the wrong section. I would move it over to the world coin grading section.

Hi Mike and no it's a US commemorative from the Chicago Columbian Expo of 1893.

Here is information on the Exposition from Wikipedia
