I believe this coin is XF40. What do you all say? I may have paid a bit too much for it at $65.

I'll say VF-30. Little if any ribbon separation from the lower curl.

Looks VF35 to me. Priced just a bit more than I would have paid, but a nice example.

I think it just makes XF-40.

I'm in at VF35 there is just a touch too much wear on the diamonds on the obverse, and the tiny rim nick on the reverse at 9:00 is just enough for me to keep it from an EF40.
But overall it's a nice first year type coin, no real issues as often seen in lower grade examples.

A good VF35 for me. 1859 was a fun year: Quote: "August 27 - Edwin Drake drills the first oil well in the United States, near Titusville, Pennsylvania, starting the Pennsylvania oil rush."

I'm also on the XF40. You have actually a lot of detail coupled with the full necklace and one diamond.

I'm at VF-35 at best. Diamonds are too worn for me to think it could go XF.
