The luster is what edges me up.

 Can't see any toes, and significant wear on eagle and shield. I'm going EF-40.

These are striking issues. Look at the clear luster on this coin.

Thanks for your opinions everyone!
In hand, the coin definitely has luster, but some of the high points do show a lack of detail.

I just find it hard to believe that an XF coin could retain this sort of luster. I'll stand at AU-50 or better, too bad we'll not resolve this!
