F-15
The obverse has VF-20, The reverse has F-12 and perhaps "scratched" is on the label.
Maybe it got F-15 which would be fair.

I agree with
f15. For some strange reason that coin has very attractive eye appeal to me.

F15 obverse sharpness, F12 reverse sharpness, my net TPG grade F details, scratched, rim damage. (Very) Old cleaning. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis Edited by paralyse

Old cleaning, but very attractive now. I'd say F-15 straight grade.

I'm with Paralyse on the correct calling of the grade but I think PCGS will straight grade this as a no details coin at F12. Seems the older bust coinage is given a pass on old cleanings, heck 95%+ probably have been cleaned at one point.

The obverse looks like a VF-20, but the reverse drags it down to Fine. This is one of those unusual 1806 half dollars that has strong hair detail. Most of them are shallow stikes. Had it not be for the strong strike on the obverse, this coin might well grade VG today.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Wonderful example. Solid F-15, but a 20 would not surprise me.  |

Ok guys here it is....I would have tended to agree with F15 myself. So this is very interesting PCGS gave it this grade. I guess they are very forgiving of a coin this old. Your thoughts? Thanks again!
