Hello all,

I found this item for sale online but the pictures aren't good.

The coin that has me interested is the 1909. What variety do you think it is, round leaf or pointed... also is it cross-bow...

Very difficult to see with these pictures, but your opinion or guesstimate is wanted.

Thanks gents.

The 1909 looks like an XF or AU, but there is no way to tell from the photos if the surfaces are OK

Poor pics indeed.
EF, maybe AU
Round leaves but no way to determine if it's bow or cross over bow.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

The rev of the coin looks darker than the obv, which is a hint of possible cleaning.

But for $50, itès a good gamble.

@tripoli yes your right, but I was referring to gem as possible nice coin not grade.
