From Mike Flanagan earlier this year, fresh back from the koolaid factory:
Not the most gorgeous two-tone, but original appearing, no hairlines or obvious dipped surfaces, a darker slate gray, could use a little more contrast on the high spots, but tough as nails to find in midgrades. Typical weakness upper R (facing) shield and eagle's leg/claw. What is your grade?
I'll post the grade after all the regulars chime in, and anyone else who wants to play. Thanks!

Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

Don,
Coin just qualifies for an XF 40 grade, but wouldn't be too surprised if it earned a VF 35.
Nice coin, BTW.

Very nice coin and great pics. Becuase it is an "O" mint, I'd go with XF40. if it was a Philly or San Fran, then I'd go VF35.

Of course, neither of us bid VF or XF money for the coin.

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
I bought it thinking XF, esp with the O mint allowance, but I believe the toning is what held it back in PCGS eyes. If it was brighter, they would have 40'ed it all day long. The lines go all the way to end of the R wing (facing) and some 3D to the L wing even.
Thanks again!
Don
PS Rick, there is a micro rim nick at the second L in Dollar, barely visible to naked eye, greatly magnified on the pic. I seriously doubt it held it back though, but is a thought nonetheless.
Looks like the Barberites were split down the middle on this VF35/XF40 coin;
...as Dave99B mentioned it was a 39.875 or some such...which is exactly what it is.
When are you going to do another Photo-Shop of the Dansco to include this ? Next year
when I drive thru VA on my "free all expenses paid vacation" provided by TwoToneVF35...
I'll drop off my Barbers for you to enjoy for five weeks...then you can image them to your
heart's content !!
