I am guessing XF to AU. Obverse looks pretty clean, while the reverse has some small dings. Not sure how grading companies consider that into the final grade.

Gosh Marve65.. I'm anxious to see what other members think as well as the PCGS grading on this one.

I enjoy the look of the consistent color. I'll go AU range.

HAHA...typical, drop by a point by PCGS to help keep the upper pops low.

When I first saw the obverse picture I was almost MS-63 but there is some evidence of mild wear on the wheat lines and grains. I think this coins is at least AU-50 to 90% of collectors. Well bought!

Wow, I am surprised it graded at XF. I would have thought low AU.
