Like others in this forum the weakness in the liberty most likley that would bring the overall grade down despite the VF details elsewere to a F-12 to F-15 range still a nice coin in my book!

I believe PCGS would give this coin a VF-20 rating based on comparing photos from auction sites. Soft liberty does not seem to be a major impediment provided the other details are sharp (which they are on this coin). Slabbed, that's a $250 coin at auction nice buy.

I personally think this is a bit better than VF-20 based on the reverse detail.

I would have to agree with the soft LIBERTY F-15

 F 15 is the best I would go based on the headress wear. nice indian for sure. |

While many books will say to be VF, an IHC needs to have a full liberty, I don't always agree. Here, while there is more wear on and around the headband, you can still make out all the letters to some extent and the rest of the coin has only light to moderate wear. I would think this coin deserves a VF grade due to the entire look and wear of the coin. |

This might grade as high as F-15 in hand. |

sk8er722, I use a Canon EOS 30D camera with a Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 macro lens. I have the camera mounted on a solid tripod. If I remember right, the settings I used to take these shots are as follows: Shutter speed: 1/200 ISO: 250 Aperture: f/10 (or maybe f/11, I can't remember exactly) Lighting: Lots of it.  If you read through the Coin Photography forums, you'll find a ton of great information in there on how to achieve good pictures. Trust me, if I can learn to do it, anyone can! Here's a link to those forums: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...?FORUM_ID=81 |

I can't seem to pull up a photograph, therefore I can't grade it. Sorry.
