This is a difficult one to grade because the reverse shows more detail than the obverse. I say F-15 overall, and not very good eye appeal.

Not the best with this series, but basing off a weak strike, noticeable with planchet marks visible on the obverse 1st star point and reverse K1, I'm at F15. A lot of what is "wear" I'm seeing as a weak strike.
Rest in Peace

I'm really terrible at grading this series, so pay no attention to my opinion.

@IndianGoldEagle, Your photos are fantastic!

I may be an outlier here, but I see a VF-25, and fairly close to VF-30. There is just a little bit too much wear in the obverse design centers and a little bit too much reverse rim weakness to make VF-30.

I was at VF20 at first now with the new photos I'm at VF25+ and so close to VF30 a very nice example IGE! These come weakly struck often, this one is a nice one, you did good here.

Thanks guys, the dealer had this listed as a VG so I was glad to get it at VG price.
