I would say it's an XF 40.
I also had a 45, and this isn't
quite as nice as my old coin.

It's got a nice even color to it. Looks like a 40 to me.

I'm guessing XF 40. They may also have punished it (damaged) because of the rims.

I like the net 35 option ... Not 45 with the ding, but shouldn't be bagged for it IMO.

DennisH

XF40.

Nice!!

40 details, down to 30/35 for more than one big rim bump.

35

I like this coin as an honest, mid-grade representative of a type that is difficult to find "Perfect For The Grade", with well above average overall eye appeal



Going for her are strong details from a good even strike, and well above average surface texture and apparent originality. There are a few marks, no need to point them out specifically, but as they are in prime focal areas and tend to draw the eye, so along with the moderate rim bruises from use in commerce, we have to net them into the final grade.



So, as others have said, hard to imagine it below VF-something or above 45, I'll guess 30 on this dollar though I'm probably low..

35

With the hair details and full drapery line on the obverse, it should be at least XF40, and with the flatness and worn feather detail on the reverse, it is no more than that.

Sometimes ownership adds a point (or a grade bump) in this case I think this is a nice VF 35 example and doesn't have quite enough detail for a 40. But I could be wrong, maybe I'll submit it for a review one day. I'm happy with it as a VF 35 for my type set and would rather have a nice 35 then a weak 40. It does have nice eye appeal and original surface which is what I care about. The nick in front of the face is not so noticeable in hand (since the coin is not 10" wide) nor is the top rim bump on the reverse, though the one at 5 o'clock can be seen. The picutre is below since I can't mix text and photos in a nice format here.

Yes, it was 35 and came back as 35 on a regrade

Are regrades done without the graders knowing whether it's a raw submission or a regrade?

I came to the conclusion of a 30, based on the reverse limiting the grade, but initially thought 40. Cardinals logic I think is better than mine. I had it at 30 to 40.
