Do you think this one would make a XF-40? Any other thoughts? Thanks.   |

I don't have it in hand yet, but it was sold to me as XF. I think it may have been cleaned way back, but it has retoned in a nice natural way. It is another upgrade for my 7070. Thanks Murty for chiming in.

VERY nice!! I agree with Murty, easily XF40. The obverse is nicely pristine with just a bit of wing wear on the reverse (and that could be mostly weaker strike in that area.) All in all, a VERY nice coin! I haven't seen too many as nice as this one.  |

I like this coin, looks EF-45 to me.

I agree with a solid EF-40 details grade and EF-45 isn't out of the question. If the photos are accurate for color I suspect the coin has been cleaned. The uniform grey tone does not look original to me and I would expect a TPG would flag it, either for cleaning or "altered surface". |

Received the coin yesterday and Jaobler is right on. It would not slab in my opinion. It has obviously been dipped, but it has nice features and I got it at a good price so into the 7070 it goes. Thanks.

I agree it is XF based on the details visible in the stars on the obverse. It's a beautiful coin in my opinion, cleaned in the past or not. I'd love to put that in my 7070!
