I don't collect 25 cent nor Edward VII coins but the seller had a KGV 5 cent I wanted and I ended up buying both. The images are the sellers, but based on them what ballpark grade would you give this.

I think on the teetering edge between VG-10 and F-12.

Very nice original tone.

VG 10 overall , very nice reverse. In an NGC holder they would probably call it Fine 15.
A real challenge.....try matching to look and grade for all of the other Edward VII dates .would take a long time.
Nice original coin you have there.

Tough call. The coin has no major distractions and the fields look really nice. Its a very nice VG but deserves better IMO

I keep going between VG10 and F12, but I'd call it VG10 in my collection. Very nice looking coin.

Thank you everyone for the grading. I'm not surprised at the grades given the wear on the face/ear/headband. Normally I don't like to buy coins below VF20 but I like the looks of this coin.

Yeah I'd say the obverse is a VG-10 and a nice one at that but the reverse is probably F-15. If your lucky maybe you'd net an F-12 from ICCS from the difference in front and back, on top of that the obverse is super close to F-12. At the very least ICCS VG-10 nice coin.

F12
Not quite enough wear for VG10
