Picked this up for $52. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!

I say it might be XF-40.
Rest in Peace

XF45, shield and stars are well defined, looks MAD strike on Motto or off pressure, didn't fill in well. Love the massive spidey cracks, normal for the SN's Mox's eye appeal 5/10, not "crazy" about the obverse strike.

I believe it's XF-45 or maybe even better, you can see the lines in the stars on the reverse, and all the lines in the shield on the obverse are visible. That's a really amazing find!

EF-45, obverse issues at K7 diminish eye appeal.

AU-55. Suggest new thread, piggybacking confuses people.

Why start the discussion over with different pics without saying these are different pics of the same coin?

That's how I always do it. I post the seller's pictures when I make a purchase and then I post the in-hand pictures when the coin arrives. Must have done it this way over 100 times now.

Your latest photos don't show much luster. What does it really look like?
