I did have a little trouble understanding grading the front but the back is easier with the horn. This coin was marked when I received it G on the front but someone wrote XF on the back. What would you give it? Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 11:11 am I see VF-20 obverse, VF-30 reverse, with an average of VF-25 overall. Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 6:43 pm I think it is a soft strike on the obverse. It's at least a VF. I would need to see it in hand to make a better determination. Report this Post to the Staff
