I'm needing some help with this one. If it were your coin, what grade would you assign it?

XF 40? I'm not sure about the coloring. Is there some light rim damage?

Yes, there is some minor rim damage, but I don't think it detracts from the grade.
As for the coloring - my scanner has seen alot of use over the past five years, and it's getting tired - coin looks better in hand.
I was thinking extra fine, but it's always nice to get like opinions from others. Thanks.

I'd like to see stronger reverse rim detail for an EF coin. I'd call this strong for VF-30 and very possible for VF-35. EF-40 is just a tad optimistic IMO. Regardless, it is a nice example of this early Seated type and I agree the minor rim marks should not hurt the grade.
Rest in Peace

I figured that to be a weak strike and it looks like parts are worn differently or something...overall detail definitely looks EF

But it definitely looks cleaned, I agree
