It's close to a 10 but I'm going to stay at VG08 - to much wear on the wheat grains.

Thanks BadThad. It amazing how far the opinions vary.
Anywhere from VG8 to F15. Grading is very subjective.

i took another look at this one. I think you are correct with your assessment grade of Fine. I think the lower portion of the rev is somewhat strike related. there is good separation of the collar. which you would not see on a VG coin. I actually think it's between 12 and 15 for a grade.

It's either a VG10 or F12 for me... I'd lean toward VG10, just a bit too much wear on the rev upper wheat lines for me to put it at a solid F
