This came in. Further thoughts? Thanks!

The extension on the F in OF does not appear raised:

1798-$1-Draped-Bust-Dollar-BB-111,-B-11,-R-3

But there does seem to be some prominent clashing in the reverse.

I wish there was a better way to show how lustrous this coin looks in hand.

I'm a little surprised the coin graded straight. XF45 is correct imo

I suggest to cross it over and ask for conservation. Downgrade be damned.
It would be much worse if the verdigris continues to spread and completely ruins a great coin.

You have bought some wonderful things of late. This is not a favorite.

In terms of how the coin looks in hand, this one is fast becoming one of my favorites.

Looking at the in-hand photos, I have to bump my grade estimate to EF-45. I think ANACS got it right. I'm surprised by the luster. The seller's pics didn't show that!

Just a thought, but what if you sent it back to ANACS to be conserved and reholdered? Would a conserved EF-45 be easier to cross over? There's always the downside risk of damage during conservation, though.

Personally, I couldn't get past the reverse. Not a fan. You're pics are definitely better than the sellers, sellers pics make it look far worse than it apparently is. I'd also agree with XF45.
