Hi,
Looking for your opinions on grade and value. I got something going on in the date, inside the eight and six and the mint mark; What might of caused this?

With regards to the wear o the mustache, I would say nice VF.
Concerning the mint mark and at a lesser extend the year, it looks to me as if the engraver was not happy with the N which was too bold and removed it partly from the die to replace it with a more elegant one.
Concerning the year, it could be some correction of the emplacement.
But I am only guessing...
Maybe someone else will provide other explanations.

I feel that this is VF too. The coin might have been cleaned a while ago and might have toned since then.

There is something about this coin that makes me feel that it's a fake. The details on the wreath and bust just don't look right. The dentals look odd and the designers name is unreadable but not from wear. The overall appearance looks as though the coin has been burnt. It's just the overall impression this coin gives me.

I would probably call it VF-30, but something does look off about this coin. Parts of it almost look whizzed. And there is an obvious cleaning.

This coin looks very weird.
The mustache is worn, the rest of the coin is not. The edge is almost plain,almost with no denticles
