I am going to say a solid VF20.

My grading guide says 'LIBERTY' on shield needs to be strong for VF20 so I'll have to go F15. Nice eye appeal due to the clean fields. A-grade F15 for sure.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I am an "old school grader." The coin looks like a Fine-12 to me.

Even F-15 is a stretch - reverse just not VF detail to me.

No neck feather detail, little on right wing, pancake head on both sides, weak "LI" in Liberty - really, would you pay VF money for this?  |

My eyeball grade was F+ (F15) so I bid accordingly and ended up winning the coin for F12 money! ($37, if anyone cares.) VF20 FMV is $89 -- a BIG jump in price for a small condition gain, but useful if I were to budget slab it and it got market graded into a 20 slab because I could always turn it out for a bit of gain later. I don't think it warrants a full grade VF, by my personal standards, and it looks like a lot of folks agree with my original assessment of F15. That being said, there is always room in the cabinet for choice-in-grade pieces with originality and eye appeal that have a possible resale upside going forward.

My first thought was F15. It looks to have nice color and surfaces for a Fine+.
