To all of you who went for 40, I agree with you, but no cigar. PCGS graded the coin a 35!!! Tally:
using lowest number if given a range: grade/votes 40.......25 -1 because Rocco changed his mind = 24 35.......18 including Rocco's 45.......8 30.......3 20.......2 50.......2 15.......1
Note to self: do not ever sell coins to people who said F-15 or VF-20.
I'm with the VF-35 to XF-40 crowd. I think it is a die marriage with a relatively flat, low-relief design, which make a little bit of wear look like a lot of wear... thus, the large flat spots and remaining mint luster are there at the same time. Tough coin to grade.

It's easier and more accurate if you do this with the built-in poll feature, y'know. That way folks have to vote before they can see what everybody else voted. And you ain't gotta count it all up. I think more "guess the grade" threads should be in poll format.

35 or 40
Average them up, you've got more graders/ experience here for a consensus then PCGS uses.

45 wouldn't surprise me. The reverse looks 45+ to me.

On the contrary, it is the market grade that is given in dollars not the "real" grade.
