Looks like an EF-40 coin that would straight grade with this toning.

XF 45 If you sold the coin to a dealer, they would most likely offer melt. If you sold on ebay after covering shipping and fees, you may net a couple of dollars above melt. |

Hey John1... I just used my cell phone with two different light sources. The coin looks much better than these images would suggest. I also used Photoshop to try to balance the color to look more like the actual coin, but it is not that accurate.

I'll say EF to low AU range.
Errers and Varietys.

Well, I'm blown away !!! I soaked this coin in Verdi-care overnight then rinsed it with a blast of hot water. I then re-coated it with Verdi-care for storage. The difference is spectacular. No rubbing and no scrubbing just boom it looks almost new again. I also used my old Nikon D-100 with better lighting to take the pictures. Changing to a white background also helped make the image look much cleaner IMO...     |

Looks great - nice job. I would grade it AU55. Congrats!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
