This is another of the coins from my wife's uncle's Whitman collection. It looks like it could be graded as F. Any opinions? Thanks.

I can support a VF20 technical grade.

Your 2nd image of the reverse highlights some significant divots plus what is likely some cleaned areas.

So, VF20-Details damaged/cleaned

Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

not too often that you get this many assessing the same grade. I think you can assign VF20 to this one
