For your grading consideration. Such a tiny little thing, I assume this was the smallest/lightest coin ever produced by the us mint?

Type 1 gold dollars were smaller in diameter but slightly heavier.

Your piece looks well preserved for the level of wear. These are bent quite easily as I am sure you know. I'd guess it to be low VF.

I find these little guys a bit difficult to grade, but I'd think F15-VF20. Appears to be a decent problem-free example .

VF-20 sounds about right.

Looks VF-25 or possibly VF-30.

I'd be OK at VF-30.

I would say upper VF, 35. A very nice example for the wear.
