1903-O Barber Half (raw coin) M 2.10m / R2 Yet another one for the wholesome short set.. This one looks right on the edge of VG10/F12 to me. What say you o' CCF wise ones? Opinions appreciated, Thanks!  (Sample photograde for ballparking..)  Edited by Night-Hawk

I think it is F15 myself, the ear area and ribbon on reverse look like the VF20 photograde so it may be higher. But I think F15 is a fair grade :)

Not quite enough meat on those thighs or wingtips,
though the toning gives nice contrast, Id like to
see a little more detail on the wreath and eye for
a Fine grade.
I'm going with VG10 myself..

Have to agree with VG10. Just a little bit too much wear for F.

Night-Hawk, I think you nailed the grade.  Judging just by LIBERTY this is a VG-10. Notice how all seven letters are visible on the F-12. Very nice color. An honest coin. |

Must agree with the VG-10, "Liberty" is the key for the grade.

The exception are coins from New Orleans. But even then other areas
can help establish the grade.
VG-8 and VG-10 examples of Halves are the sweet spot for looks vs. price.
Fine-12 halves are expensive and not easily found.

She is VG-10 all the way around IMO. Nice coin.

I concur with everyone else, VG-10. Nice coin, great eye appeal!

I can get on board VG-10. Not quite enough letters in liberty for a fine but the laurel leaves look stronger than on a VG-8.
