Some of you have already seen this, but I am starting to doubt myself 
. Got it for $160, was that good?

I like it. If it was mine it would be in a Dansco

I think it has the feel of an EF40, but would be worried if sent in for grading that the prominent dig on the obverse by star five might sink it into a details holder.

35, but like TomB, not sure about that mark on the obverse. The rest of the coin looks fairly wholesome.
I would grade it an XF40, but the ding by her shoulder could give it a details grade.... It will be close. Cheers, RickO
XF DETAILS
fwiw
The mark to the left of Ms. Liberty's arm that runs to the 5th star is disturbing. I don't think that it will straight grade for that reason.
Too worn to be an XF. I feel it's a solid VF. The scratch, though distracting, would not preclude a straight grade. JMHO.

I see it as EF40 but knocked back to VF35 or VF-details because of the obverse nick.
Shame for the mark on the obverse. Although VF35, my guess, I feel the reverse to be AU50, but the obverse will most likely determine the grade. I miss the old split grades.

The wear on the obv keeps this out of the XF range IMO. The ding as mentioned by Tom is a concern also. I would say VF-35.

I think you did fine. I'd guess XF myself though others here think not.
