I'll say EF-40, choice for grade.

A little dark, some minor rim issues at K3, but otherwise I'm with Coinfrog at EF40

Hadn't noticed the rim issues, thanks, but will stick with grade.

I agree, even with rim issues, solid XF40.

That is an impressive collection!

I appreciate all the feedback. I thought it was xf40 as well. Numismedia has the value at $150 and I got it for less than half of that so I'm happy.

Thanks Festus - that's just one page - Flying Eagles are my favorite Classic coin design.

Thanks Coinfrog, I used to collect these when you could get a XF for around $20 - now the prices are getting ridiculous.

The best I can remember it was between 2000 and 2005.
