Two different lighting samples to compensate for my lack of photography skills. This one may have taken a trip or two on a riverboat.

    I'm thinking 25, but I think these had strike issues so it wouldn't shock me to see it in a 30 holder... Nice piece!

    30, cleaned, but likely straight graded.

    20 to 25. A very nice piece no matter what the grade. Definitely made for the river boat gambling tables. :)

    Thanks for all of your comments. The coin is PCGS VF-20. I think our host was a little hard on the coin when they graded it VF-20 as it looks like it has more than enough detail to solidly grade VF-25. It has nice even wear without any major distractions in the fields, and I could maybe see VF-30 on a good day. It's been a fun exercise trying to figure out how to properly photograph the coin with an i-phone so that it is close as possible to in-hand appearance. The first two photographs highlight minute markings that you don't really see with the naked eye, but they also make it seem as if the coin has a waxy appearance, which is definitely not the case. I'm pleased with how the color came out on the second set of photos, but the coin looks smoother in hand.
