Because of the flatness of the right leg, I would grade this F-12. However, I'm not a pro at this so wait for another opinion.

I'm going to say that it would grade VF-25.

I was thinking more along the lines of an XF-40. Maybe 35, but close to XF in my opinion. Very nice coin.

This is a very solid VF coin IMO, probably a lock for VF-30. For it to be considered for EF I would want to see better detail in the beading along the obverse rim. The color is a bit dark but that could be original. The light scratches on the reverse should not be a problem at the VF grade level.
Very decent coin, definitely worth more than melt!

I would call it a VF-35 but if it has some luster left, it may possibly make EF-40. It has a very nice eye appeal IMO  |

I think I see some subdued/toned luster around the stars and lettering on the bottom of the reverse.

Nice coin.
Would love to see better pics. So is there good luster? I think that coin is at EF40 or 45.
The beading on the shield is consistent with AU coins. The wear on the eagle's probably holds it back from AU.

XF-40 was my first thought.

Great pictures Yotie! This solidifies the coin as an XF in my opinion, and a solid one at that, at least according to how I've seen them TPG graded. I don't think a 45 is completely out of the question either. Edited by johnny54321

I like the date too.  Here is the example in my type set. I purchased as a raw AU several years ago.   |
