$276. Looks like a nice full strike. Thoughts? Thanks!

One of my favorite designs on the Reverse. At XF-40 the price seems ok, may have an old cleaning on the obverse.

EF-40 sounds right, agree obverse fields have been cleaned.

XF40 market acceptable with the scratch on and below the 5 a little distracting.

XF40 for me as well. Is that a planchet defect or a gouge below the 5. Looks deep, not sure if that will hold it back from a straight grade.

This WB-14 (R3) die marriage looks like EF40 to me but I think that they would detail it for the damage. If it straight grades then VF30-35.

VF details coin. Looks like a hit to the right of the shield above the 53. Digging the die break in the right obv field.

The reverse is nice. By itself, the reverse would be knocking on the door of EF-45. The obverse is the issue. IMHO, the old cleaning tried to remove the corrosion that still exists on the left arm and gown east of the shield. The corrosion spots east of the left arm suggest this. By itself, the cleaning would be market acceptable. The obverse looks like a combo of die state and circulation. By appearance it is VF-35. I agree with others, the knock south of the date details the coin. IMHO, the corrosion spots might also do so. I'm on the bubble with a high VF/low EF details coin. Eye appeal adjustments might suggest VF details.

As before, I think this straight graded at XF-40
