I bought this recently, and these are the seller pics. It is in a PCGS holder. What do you think about the coin, and the grade?
Thanks!

    Love the originality. Me thinks she's a 40, despite the reverse device weakness.

    Very nice........I'm leaning toward a 30 or 35 on this.

    I like the coin's eye appeal. As for grade, I'd really like it in 35, but also would like it at 40.

    Great looking coin. Afer being in a conversation in private with another board member on this subect, seeing coins like this makes me realize just how underrated dark coins are.

    40 seems right

    XF obverse, VF reverse. Pass unless priced as a VF.

    I sure like this one! Looks xf-40 to me, it's a weaker strike I say xf-40 all dayimage

    Put me in the XF40 crowd, but again grading from pictures is always a guessing game, a fun game, but still a guessing game.

    You can put me in the 40 crowd as well.

    Great coin. Love the toning. I looked and looked again and still have trouble grading it. I'm gonna go with VF-35, but wouldn't be too surprised to see a 40 on the slab. Either way, she's a beauty.

    I don't care about the year or the grade.....It is a CBHimage

    I think 25's are real sleepers in this series.
    Put them aside when you see them.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    It is a PCGS VF 35! I paid about $160 for it.

    While the reverse looks VF all day long, and even though I have not done my due dilligence on this variety, I suspect that the reverse has much less actual wear than one would ordinarily ascribe to her.

    Though she's thick with patina, care to comment on extent of remaining luster?

    Though I would not quibble with the grade, I think she easily should command 40 money.
