Based on wear, I'd say VG-10 with a weakly struck liberty.

I don't think this would quite make a VG-10. For one thing, too many letters in 'LIBERTY" are not visible. VG-8

Surfaces look dark and almost porous, possibly indicating the coin has suffered from improper storage. PCGS might have flagged it as Environmental Damage.
VG-8 details IMO.

I bought it as a G/VG coin raw, it sat in my showcse for a year raw before I submitted it and lo and behold I get this back! It sold for more than twice what I had been asking for once it was in the slab!  A good lesson - Buy the coin not the holder!  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Could just be the dark images because it doesn't look F12.

LIBERTY can be faint but must be totally visible for F12.
For anyone versed in the series, this is a VG coin all day.

Westcoin- if you got F-12 money for that coin you did real good, not so good for the buyer

For anyone versed in the series, this is a VG coin all day. That's what I always thought?  In another recent thread, a G$3 piece that PCGS just graded also shocked me. Maybe something is going on in the grading room because PCGS had a huge backlog in Dec/Jan. At least in these cases the results were in favor of the submitter. |

Agreed this one is only VG6 (I don't even think it would have make VG8  as per my comment above), it was purchased raw as a G/VG coin in a lot of IHC. I ended up stuck for about a year holding this coin, I had some empty slots on a PCGS coupon deal so I tossed it in the batch going in, was pleasantly surprised at the grade it came back at, since I bought it to resale. I ended up selling it to someone who had passed on it at several shows, I had a table at, he paid a lot more than I originally asked before submission.  P.S. This coin is several years old (not a recent submission). "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
