I am hoping that this grades XF-40 (I do not collect dollars and cannot grade them):

Could you show us brighter pics that show surface detail better?

Based on the breast feathers alone, I'd say this is at least AU-58, and very possibly better. But these pics are just not showing us the true surfaces - they are leaden, and not bright and illuminating.

I recently sold my EF40 and yours looks nicer. I would say it is in the AU55 neighborhood.

"Leaden?" Interesting description. Compare this 1878 to the 1879 I also have. Brighter surface.

Of the 40 so-so dollars that I have and intend to sell here soon I kept both of these as type coins.
I am happy that it at least is an XF-40.

I'm not seeing the wear to bring it into the AU range. I think its AU58 or MS63. base don the photos its had one dip too many though it probably would grade straight

AU-58 but not sure if the surfaces are original. Hard to tell for sure from these photos.
