Very odd toning, I like the reverse tho. Obverse on the other hand I can barely see anything. I'd venture a grade of XF45

Id say VF, the horizontal lines in the shields are clear, but Liberty is not all there, unless it's the photo.

EF-45. Ugly tone but I'm not seeing any pitting so no ED.

EF-45, looks crusty even if it isn't, not a fan of this one.  |

Agree with XF45 overall and the front is UGLY.

I'm going to be odd man out and go with AU50 based on the reverse. The obverse has end-stage toning; it appears it ended up in its TPG holder before it got too bad, but hopefully, it will not progress further from toning into corrosion. I would wager that it spent a lot of time exposed to sulfur-rich air (indoors with a poorly ventilated oil or gas-fired furnace/stove, or near paper mills) -- in the interest of conservation it would be wise to get it into an air-tight TPG slab such as a PCGS Gold Shield or whatever the NGC equivalent is -- that looks like an NGC holder. Once that's done put it into an Intercept Shield slab holder. This way, you can enjoy and preserve the originality of the coin in its current state without risking surface damage.

Au-50. This is one of Dick Osburn's former coins.
