XF 40, but would come back cleaned today.
It looks like you included the assigned grade in the first image posted, but I won't tell anyone.

Slab grade AU-50. Yes, it might come back as “cleaned” today although I don’t see and “organized” cleaning likes.
It’s not a “look” that I would buy for my collection, but the coin is well struck with all of the design details defined.
That would be one heck of a coin if it were unc.
I will guess XF40.

It looks like a dipped XF by current standards.
My guess was VF35, but I know better.

As TomB stated, the grades in the photo. Am I missing something?
Either those who have guessed didn’t notice the grade or did, but guessed as if they were unaware of it. That might not apply to quite everyone, however.
I probably would have guessed XF45.

@MFeld, didn’t notice at first myself, until TomB pointed it out. I would have guessed XF40.
Would wager its a dipped circ downgraded to 30.
It looks like this one was heavily net graded. One would never get a VF-30 with this much detail today. The graders must have decided that they couldn’t body bag it, but also couldn’t get it a grade even as high as EF-40.
With the brightness, it would neither cac nor gold cac. Considering it is in a rattler and these are getting tough to find, it is a fun curiosity!
