    Looks like a nice circ coin to me!

    I'm thinking F-15....VF-20 on a good day (maybe)
  • It looks like you have parallel scratches above the bust in the closeup of that area. That does not bode well for originality. I think it'll BB for cleaning.

    Cleaned and nicely re-toned VF...I like it.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
  • It looks like it's been cleaned in the past, but who cares....it looks great! image
  • Beat-up, and cleaned... image Retoned very nicely though... with that coin, I can look past the scratchs... I have a coin that's similarly been beat-up... but, what do you expect from coins so old, and especially when there was a collector period when it was acceptable to harshly clean your coins... image

    VF-30 Details, and I'd probally even pay VF money for it...

    I agree with the rest of the herd - this coin has VF details. I wouldn't hesitate to pay mid to low VF money for it.
