It's also got a bit of rim damage.....Here is one on ebay that ends tomorrow. It's in a little better shape than yours (and without a die crack).

I'm a little tougher on grading. I'd give it a VF-30....I don't think it quite makes XF. Nice coin regardless.
I'm looking at a picture... and ya know what? I'm pretty good at looking at pictures and grading coins. If you want to waste $20 getting a $40 coin graded, knock yourself out. It's your money. I'd put it in a 2x2 and enjoy it for a few years until you are ready to acquire a nicer example.I wouldn't sell it on eBay,but if a realistic price is 40 that's 50% more then 20, I want to get it graded so I know 100% what grade it is,no offense your all just looking at a picture I took with my phone it could be better or worse ,so who's to say the real price,it could be worth nothing, but to me this coin has more value then gold it was my dads just like I said in the first post I loved going through his coins asking about them and this coin was not just my dads but his dads also
I wasn't being a jurk about it, all I was saying is my flash wasn't on and a camera would do a better job then the phone I said no offense lol.. the offer was just low that's my opinion I should be able to have one I'm not bashing him just the price that was put on it at $20 you even said it would sell for more your self ,so it really wasn't a honest offer seeming how you think it would bring 40 or so on eBay
You're not supposed to take pics of coins with flash on, so your images are fine. You clearly don't understand negotiation, one person makes an offer, it is countered, and so on until an agreement is reached. Outright rejecting an initial offer and then trashing the person who made the offer is poor form in more ways than one.
Why would anyone get bent out of shape on ANY offer? Even a laughable one. All you have to say is "no thanks". It's not as if you were bent over a barrel and had no choice in the matter....that would be a rip off. An offer you think is low, is just that, not an insult or a rip off, because nothing changed hands and no agreement was made. Just pass on it and move on. If it's not for sale, just say so. No reason to belittle someone because they don't have the same high opinion of what you think it's worth. You can end up eating crow doing that when you find out they're right and you're wrong. Take it from someone that has burped up some crow feathers in the past!
