Nice clean fields but I would have to say EF-45 due to ware.

I would give it EF-40. The reverse is more like VF-35 but the obverse is a strong EF40.

I agree with EF-45. There is definite light wear on the high points of Liberty's hair and headdress and the leaves of the wreath. Luster remnants appear limited to protected areas near the rims and devices.
Rest in Peace

My guess is AU-50 even. There is just enough luster around the lettering to merit that imho.

EF-40 to EF-45. Doubt that it graded AU.

EF-40 to 45

My photo skills aren't the best, there is a little luster left.
The photos definitely don't look as good as in hand
