jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3156 Posts	Posted 06/06/2026 2:43 pm This one has a couple hits on obverse but otherwise I thought it looked pretty decent. Looks like small date variety which numismedia has a price of $132 in xf-40. I think I am good paying $70. Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3156 Posts	Posted 06/07/2026 11:39 am if you look at pcgs photo grade and other graded vf-30 cents they have noticeably more wear on the hair and the wreath on reverse. Not sure why everyone keeps saying vf-30 but I disagree. This site used to have a lot more input from people in the grading forum. Miss those days. Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3156 Posts	Posted 06/07/2026 12:27 pm another vf-30 parrot. Thinking I am done asking for grading opinions here. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5666 Posts	Posted 06/08/2026 12:26 am I think it's close to XF-40, but not quite there on the reverse. So I'd say VF-35. Report this Post to the Staff
adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 06/08/2026 12:58 am Jerry, these photos are really hazy and a little difficult to grade from. I looked at this post yesterday and decided not to comment because of the quality of the photos. I do agree that your example reflects better details than PCGS VF30 photo grade. Please post up photos once you have it in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
