I'm at VF30/35, possibly Details. I Can't judge surfaces well enough from these pics to say definitively Details.

VF25 - I can't tell from the photos but these are known to have lots of Double Dies and re-punched dates so give it a good look under a loupe.

I can't tell whether it's details or not. Looks to be VF to XF. It might benefit from some conservation efforts to remove the black stuff buried within the shield and around the devices. An Acetone bath might help it.

Got this from a dealer In Minneapolis many moons ago. Wonder what value collectors put on a coin like this today. Think it was about $15 in the mid seventies!

i agree XF details cleaned. if it graded straight it would be about $60-70 range. I'm really bad at value for details coins maybe half of that?

Not sure what everyone is seeing that says this was cleaned. It looks original to me. VF-30 straight grade.

IndianGoldEagle not cleaned, just some old junk clogging up the crevices. An acetone bath may help loosen some of it up, but no signs of any cleaning. I'll split the grade with you VF25 to VF30, call it a VF27.5
