No less than 8, F12 is definitely possible

Me thinks VG-10, not the 'sharpest' VG-10 in the shed, but a VG-10 nonetheless. Good looking

Solid VG-10 but not sure it will stretch out to F-12.

I think the "mushy" look will keep it from a 12. I'll go with a 10.

I took the liberty of enhancing the seller photos just a little bit to show the detail.

In my opinion, compared to the PCGS F-12 example Numismatic-student's example does have lesser detail, however the PCGS F-12 example does also seem to have unnatural colouration from what was likely an "old" cleaning, whereas numismatic-student's example looks more natural.

Even with "enhanced" photos, I'm still at VG-10.

Not bad for $95. Thoughts? Thanks!

Looks stronger in your photos, the reverse does look a little rougher than in sellers pics but I think you got a good deal. VG-10 imo

Seller's photos were hiding a lot of nicks and marks. I am with Frog as I would want a better example.

The dings on the surface are more than likely the result of improper storage.
