Very large scans here:

Gigantic obverse scan.

Gigantic reverse scan.

The coin looks to me to be a nice original piece that hasn't been screwed with. The seller is calling it an Extra Fine, but I don't think it's quite there for that grade. I think the wear on the We in the motto and on the reverse rim might keep it at the Very Fine grade.

What do you guys think?

"We" is week but all there so I would go with XF-45. Nice, even color.

Maybe I'm a bit hard on these, but I was thinking f15 to vf20. Looks very nice.

Nice ch. xf/45, you do see those small corrosion spots though, correct?

Yeah, yeah, I know they're small, but they must be eradicated!!!!!!!!!

VF35. I dinked it a grade due the corrosion previously mentioned that is most prominent towards the left edge of the reverse on the gigantic scan.

<< <i>you do see those small corrosion spots though, correct? >>

Yeah, on the reverse periphery. I was kind of hoping that my eyes were playing tricks on me and they weren't really there.
