It's in a straight graded NGC holder right now. I'm on the fence about it but would appreciate some input since it's not my series. I'm considering it for my type set. I'll reveal the NGC grade tonight.

40/45, my guess for the current NGC grade would be 45 or 50.
I'm thinking a 45/50, fwiw
On the fence between 40 and 45. Nice surfaces!

Put me in the 40 camp. Looks fairly wholesome.

I'll say 40. The lighter patch in the middle of the LIBERTY shield is a bit attention-grabbing, but everything else looks XF.

Lock 40, shot 45.
40 sounds good, looks fairly wholesome to me.

Going out on a limb by answering a bit differently. I think it’s a NGC 45 now & I’ll go with PCGS coming in @ 40. Nice coin in any case.

45
My guess is a pcgs 40, which would then cac. If 45-50, not sure about cac.
The coin looks like a 45 to me and much more original looking than the large majority of Seated Dollars, regardless of grade level.

I think it will straight grade 45
I like it at 45
40
I'm in the XF40 camp.
Here's the slab pic:

45 is reasonable and really represents the most probable grade outcome. I like the coin. The coin and not the favorite holder of the moment or sticker really matters because this is a coin that simply cannot be replicated as it has the characteristics of what matters. A 40 would be a real slap in the face if this coin in hand looks as good as it does in the image.
A collector has a choice… something unmolested in contrast to some enhanced POS. The unmolested coin deserves the benefit of the doubt… that is even if there is doubt in this instance… over what is typically seen for the date.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Very nice coin, curious why or why not cac liked it (if it's been submitted which is likely).
I don't think it has been submitted because the dealer offering it doesn't submit to CAC.
40 was my guess for PCGS. I can't see it going any higher. 40 years ago it would have been a 30.
Nice looking coin
This is one that should be sent to CAC and if it passes submit it to PCGS for a crossover

I’ll think it has a good chance to be approved by CAC as an VF-35.
I sure hope CAC would approve the coin as a 35, considering that it looks XF. and plenty original.

I realize that 35 seems harsh, I agree that it's appears to be original. My guess is based on my experience with CAC.
It looks like a very strong EF coin to me. If there is a big difference between the price of an EF-40 and VF-35 and it's in the 35 holder, I'd be looking at a crack out. It does not get much more wholesome than this.
The "ER" for "LIBERTY" in the shield is normal. That was an abnormal wear point on the Seated Dollar design that is not the same as it is on other Liberty Seated silver coins.
I agree and would note the CC were often morn prone to high point weakness and premature wear. If the surfaces are alive with luster under the tone it could go anywhere from 45-53. Guessing that it is slightly subdued by the original skin, I would say a text book & premium 45.

I'd like to see some luster as an XF45 - Is it there? I can't quite tell from the photos. My first thought was VF35 but I don't know jack.
Two random samples from CoinFacts.

That 40 looks like a net graded 45 for chemical treatment. Not that the surfaces of the 45 are completely original but way less muted. The OPs coin is in a different realm of originality.

I’m still feeling the effect of my recent CAC submission. NGC-45, PCGS-40, CAC-35 to 40.
Nice dollar. I see it as a liner 40/45.
Good looking dollar. Doesn't seem messed with.
I think a CAC submission would be a positive.
Please tell us about your results.

VF35 coins are usually showing a lot more wear. To my amateur eyes it does not look like a marginal EF Seated piece.
Lovely coin. Here’s my P/C 40 for comparison.
That's a great looking coin. Embodies the XF40 IMHO.
