Just wondering on what you think this would grade at please, just so I can update my spreadsheet. Coin is a little darker in hand.
Hope the pics are good enough.

Somewhere around VG10 to F15 in my old man's eyes.

It's close to a 10 but I'm going to stay at VG08 - to much wear on the wheat grains.

Thanks BadThad. It amazing how far the opinions vary.
Anywhere from VG8 to F15. Grading is very subjective.

i took another look at this one. I think you are correct with your assessment grade of Fine. I think the lower portion of the rev is somewhat strike related. there is good separation of the collar. which you would not see on a VG coin. I actually think it's between 12 and 15 for a grade.
