I'd put it at XF easy, possibly AU. That coin is dark.

I agree, EF, but a closer look might show AU. I am looking at the neck and cheek. Nice coin though.

Sorry guys... it might make EF , BUT I say VF30....
not because I want to be negative...simply because I had too many graded that way

HHB your grading has been quite conservative lately.I would suspect you got some coins back from CCCS.

actually from Both.... And I am not sure who is right...
do not want to open a can of "grading worms here" but I honestly wish we would not need TPG's
I had one coin shipped 5 times now... and only the last 2 times, was it the same grade....
4 x from Toronto, last from Montreal. you figure.....
However.... there seems to be a whole world between cleaned and cleaned........
NO I will, not get into a discussion here about this.
PM me and maybe I will tell you..

barring simple images of the entire coin in a lighting where the fields can be seen, I'd bid assuming 30. Some of the details are 40 for sure but... its the whole coin judged.

A higher DPI scan will increase the size and you can then reduce the JPG quality with something like Irfanview to make the upload limit here or better yet just post it at an image hosting site without altering the image and let us have a look.

It's surely a nice coin and appears well struck. No matter what it actually grades it seems to be a pretty good example of this particular coin... quite pleasing.
