Ok--this is a strange coin. I got it around 2002, toward the end of my high school days, and I liked that it was a (relatively) cheap Draped Bust Coin with some original luster still intact. The Philadelphia dealer who sold me this, who had been in the business for over 50 years at this point, graded very conservatively. In 2010 I sent this into PCGS. What grade do you think it got?   |

Assuming they straight graded it, VF25. VF Details is also possible.

I'm at VF-25, pics too soft to see surface details clearly.

Some central strike weakness, but I'd say XF-45. It's an O-110 with some nice die cracks.

I say XF40, mostly because of the reverse.

Here it is! I bought it as a VF(30)--It seems like a really weak strike, though, on an otherwise beautiful coin.  |

Congrats. Agree, waiting at least 48 hours is a good idea.
