A tough date that becomes a Semi Key in this grade range, due to typically poor strike.  I am calling this Choice Very Fine, however it is my opinion that for actual wear it is probably an EF.  A full bold horn despite the typical weak hair detail on the Bison's head known for this date, with signs of remaining luster.  The overall strike is just a bit too mushy for it to certify EF, if graded properly.  A solid circulated example.
