    I am not an expert but I have searched through thousands of coins. I like the french Indo-china pieces. The critical parts are the face and the leaves on the opposite side. In this particular one the face has no detail and the leaves on the right side show quite a bit of wear. IMHO I would grade it a very fine. I don't think it makes the XF grade. All and all-a very nice coin. I think they are after XF money for it however. Maybe some one else with more expertise on these coins will chime in.

    I think its fine, but I'm quite conservative in my grading image

    I agree with Fine, a lot of wear on that coin, rather ugly. It looks cleaned to me, too.

    I thought Fine as well.

    F~low vf. These mostly notice wear first in the nose and face of liberty and numbers on back.
