Webster Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 1:35 pm Hello folks, hopefully I do better with this one. To my eye this is a very appealing coin, a little red remaining and some luster. Seller is asking $80, which seems okay. My eye is telling me XF 45 because of the wear on the headband, but let me know what you all think. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 2:58 pm I'll say high F or low VF details (cleaned and recolored). A coin with this much wear would never show luster. Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 3:02 pm Not just the headband, this coin can be graded no higher than Vf because the lower hair curl is flat and merging with the ribbon. Probably cleaned as well. An XF coin must show clear separation between the lower curl and the ribbon. Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 4:42 pm VF20/25 Details, agree it's had an old cleaned and retoned. That red visible does not look natural, considering the amount of wear. Report this Post to the Staff
Webster Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 5:08 pm Safe to say this was not the response I was expecting. I guess I have some homework to do; thank you all for the feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 12/29/2021 5:15 pm VF Details. Tougher date, but for that money you can purchase a problem free example in the same grade. Report this Post to the Staff
