    XF 40, but would come back cleaned today.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Slab grade AU-50. Yes, it might come back as “cleaned” today although I don’t see and “organized” cleaning likes.

    It’s not a “look” that I would buy for my collection, but the coin is well struck with all of the design details defined.

    That would be one heck of a coin if it were unc.
    I will guess XF40.

    It looks like a dipped XF by current standards.

    My guess was VF35, but I know better.

    As TomB stated, the grades in the photo. Am I missing something?

    Either those who have guessed didn’t notice the grade or did, but guessed as if they were unaware of it. That might not apply to quite everyone, however.

    I probably would have guessed XF45.

    @MFeld, didn’t notice at first myself, until TomB pointed it out. I would have guessed XF40.

    It looks like this one was heavily net graded. One would never get a VF-30 with this much detail today. The graders must have decided that they couldn’t body bag it, but also couldn’t get it a grade even as high as EF-40.

    With the brightness, it would neither cac nor gold cac. Considering it is in a rattler and these are getting tough to find, it is a fun curiosity!
