Any thoughts on grade?

XF40?

 

Thanks in advance.

The coin looks AU to me - I don't see nearly enough wear for an XF40.

looks like low-mid AU to me as well

I agree with my esteemed colleagues. You have to be forgiving on these copper-nickel jobs. This one easily makes AU.

agreed, a low grade au thus far

The coin has EF-AU sharpness, but I'm concerned about the out of focus look on the word "LIBERTY." I'm also concerned about the brighter, whiter looking areas. I've seen whizzed coins lose sharpness in this way, and I'd have to spend some time looking at the surfaces because I could give this a clean grade.

I thought the same thing. Don't know the series too well, but the fuzziness of Liberty was the first thing that caught my eye.

AU sharpness, but the surfaces appear to have been altered.
