XF40 obverse maybe VF35 reverse (without using photograde anyway)

Late edit: Took another look at reverse, then did go to photograde and it brings it down a little. Might get 40 anyway? Still a nice coin.

I think pictures can be deceiving. Too much glare from these to read surfaces accurately.

XF-40

Cleaned IMO
The devices are very bright and grime filled comparatively to the mirrors on the obverse and the toning color looks very peculiar.

I was thing an EF40 at first glance the more I look at it I think VF30/35 range, it does have that classic cleaned but yet no problem coin (other than the cleaning).

I also think it's probably not worth sending to a TPG but it might even straight grade at EF40. It's a decent looking type example and has a circulated cameo look about it some might hate it while others search them out.

I kind of like it myself.

VF-35 sounds about right. Might make 40.

Casper, when you view the forum you want to place the coin, go to the top where it's the subject. Just below has new topic, tap that and you'll start your own thread.
