 Maybe low VG technically, but not enough meat there for me. |

My gut feeling says G-6. But on the bright side there are no dings or scratches. Just good honest wear

I like the full rims on this coin. Too bad more of Liberty is not showing. I'm still going with VG-8. Quote:

I'm in at VG08 .... not nearly worn enough for a lowball collectors interest.

I think this coin has good eye appeal for the grade.
Old school grading puts a lot of focus on "LIBERTY"
Combination of three letter = VG coin
All letters, but weak = Fine.
Modern grading seems to be getting away from that, somewhat.
IMO - for this coin.
Obverse - Full rims, some detail at eye and wreath
Reverse - Full rims, some detail at motto, shield
lower wings.
I feel this is a solid, no problem, VG coin.
Before I hit send - Just took a look at my
Ipad. The details of this coin look just
like the VG8 pictured on PCGS photo grade app.
At least to me.

The old school in me says "Not at least 3 letters visible, can't go higher than G-6."

Thank you all. They eye appeal is what sold me on the coin. I'm with all of you in that I'm torn between G-6 and VG-8. The fact that it is such a low mintage coin coupled with nice eye appeal I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Plus the cost was less than half of G-6 money so it was, at least to me, a no brainer. When it arrives I'll take some additional shots and post some pics. I really appreciate the comments, it always helps...

Between G-6 and VG-8. Nice coin for a Barber half set though.
