NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 07/04/2007 5:28 pm It looks great - VF 20 - to 30? Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 07/04/2007 6:08 pm I put it right in between F and VF without closer pics of Liberty. Actually closer of the whole coin would help. It could be the distant pics that are hiding a full Liberty and sharp detail.... Report this Post to the Staff
peterplanchet Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 07/08/2007 10:32 pm It looks like a VF20 -- but the obverse surface looks a bit irregular. Has the coin been cleaned? Report this Post to the Staff
NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 07/09/2007 4:54 pm Yes I didn't factor in much about the obverse - don't things like that detract a little... in which case, probably VF 20, it has strong features..esp. the reverse Report this Post to the Staff
hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 07/09/2007 6:15 pm I think you are maybe a bit conservative with a F12 grade here. It could bo VF20...or even a bit higher, depending on what the photos are exaggerating...or hiding. The apparent porosity of the obverse is troubling and would reduce a grade in most eyes if as bad as the photo shows. You just have to love these cents. This is one of the great designs. The mint really got the small cents off to a tremendous start with the Flying Eagles and then the Indians. I like the old bust cents, too...but the first two small cent designs are just spectacular in my eyes. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/09/2007 7:39 pm At least VF, definitely. The feather detail is far too much for F. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 07/10/2007 02:36 am I think Sr. "hedgehog" has undervalued his own coin! ^^Re. the grade being possibly higher than VF 20 - what about the wear down on "Liberty"? Report this Post to the Staff
