G-06 and a most attractive example. I don't think there is a G-08.

Seller had it listed as VG8. I was thinking G6. Looks like everyone was in the right ballpark. Much thanks to all for the input.

I agree on G-6.

It's not VG-8 because it does not meet this criterion: "Wheat shows some details and about half of the lines at the top" (Bressett & Bowers, 2006, p. 96).

Thanks for the explanation dd27. I'm pretty shaky when it comes to grading.

I have learned a ton about grading in this forum, although I still consider myself an amateur to be sure. I'm getting to know Lincoln Wheat Cents pretty well, but show me a Capped Bust Dime and I'm clueless!

I think there's enough wheat lines to pull a VG-8
