VG-8, and it was cleaned a long time ago. They should still grade it, given its age. A later coin would probably get a BB.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

I agree with F 15,this early date is known for a very weak strike,notice the star and lettering detail,also the folds on the bust,and lines on the shield.Much clearer than you would expect on a vg coin. Remember hair details and weak wings are the norm.
Congrats on the nice grade...it's all in the hair behind the ears and down through her curls on the obverse and the nice horizontal shield lines on the back that gave it the F-12 Still consider it a "Crusty Busty" now?

Early material is not something I have studied with any sort of intensity, however.
