    Nice one; I’ll guess XF 40.

    Looks like a nice example of the V-3 die marriage, judging from the date position and file marks under the toe.
    And I agree it looks like an EF-40, given the "half details" in the reverse leaves.

    It is crusty. 40 looks right.

    I'm leaning more towards 35 but I could see a 40!

    Looks to be a 40... perhaps in hand a 45.. not sure what the 'crust' may be concealing... under a light may reveal more... Cheers, RickO

    That coin looks a whole lot more wholesome in the holder picture! I do like it as a 40 now!

    I like it! Is this now all you can afford after that gold buying spree?

    @Wabbit2313 :D pretty much for now.

    By the way, what was that half dime you had that was so spectacular? Wasn’t it like a MS68 or something?
    Can you post a pic on here? I looked for it last night and couldn’t find it.
