Hi all... Done with the vacationing so I'm back at CCF. having trouble deciding what grade to give this. Using BCCS as reference,I personally want to give it a 30, but when comparing it to other ones on ebay, it hold its ground pretty good against 40s and 45s...such as these: This XF40 for example, similar wear in the liberty and wing tips. This wouldn't make it up to 40 using BCCS's guidelines.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1898-S-Barb...em460f6907dbor this 45...my coin might not make it up to this one though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1898-S-Barb...em35c79016f0How would you grade it? Pictures might be abit blurry, sorry about that   thanks in advance epikur |

VF35-EF40 no real damage that I can see, looks pretty good for a mid grade set addition.

I can see this at EF40. does look like it may have had a light cleaning at some point but it I dont think it would affect it much

EF40. Has retoned to a point where any old cleaning won't matter much

Well above 30 but not 40. Very appealing coin.
