I'm at 20 as well, but admit I've never liked grading this coin.

It's a really nice coin. You adopt certain instincts grading all of the other Seated Liberty denominations and it's difficult to shift gears on this one.

Agree with coinfrog. you have to get a different mindset to grade these 20's, but boy are they special!

Probably so. Can't offhand think of another US coin that would grade VF without "Liberty" showing!

I'm @ F15 but the Twenty Cent Pieces regularly get VF grades even with no LIBERTY showing so a ZVF 20 would not be out of the realm from a TPG.

LIBERTY on shield is raised on this issue and incuse in all other Seated coinage. Agree it takes a little bit to adjust.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Good point, NS.

I've always thought the reverse was easy to grade on these, kinda like the Barber quarters and halves. There is such exact circulation rub on the eagle consistent with each grade.

Until you get a soft strike. Then you just scream.

Thanks for all the guesses so far!

I had no idea that it was an RPM. I'll have to take a closer look at the mintmark when I get home.
