Weakly struck obverse. I'd say F-12, maybe F-15 reverse, VG-10 obverse.

Net F-12, but given the unfortunate lack of eye appeal (for me) I wouldn't pay more than VG-08/10 money. IMO.

I'm split between a 10 and a 15. It looks like a nice problem free coin though.

Nice lower grade coin. Grabbed a photograde book and it gives a definition for VG stating "Four letters must be visible on the shield". A fine grade lists the entire word Liberty must be readable though weak. So based on that VG-08 would be my guess.

one marker does not make a grade. look at the coin in total.

the reverse of this coin is in F15 range. there a a couple rim dings but I dont think they are going to affect the grade. coins typically wear the same throughout and the obverse rim wear is leading me to believe there was a weak obverse strike on the lower half of the coin. the obverse would grade F12 imo and with the strong reverse I think it would hold that grade.

Some strike weakness around the rims. F-12.
