Here's one I picked up awhile back in a junk lot and it's still probably the most valuable coin in my collection. I'm curious to know what you folks think of the grade.
I am going to go with VG on this coin instead of Fine. There is only two full letters in Liberty that I can make out with no visible intact rail above or below.
Grading standards have become more lax in recent years. As long as parts of all 7 letters are visible, it will grade F-12. I would concur that it's a F-12 example.
I like buying Barber half dollars from old schoolers who still us teh old ANA standards. You're usually buying a coin that's a full grade higher than the one they're selling.
