maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 2:23 pm Trying to grade my new acquisitions, I still feel uncertain with US coins I don't know well. I would say the 1899O should be a very small VF while the 1903 is probably only a VG? Image: quarter1899O.jpg 68.05 KB Image: quarter1903.jpg 62.37 KB Report this Post to the Staff

collect4fun Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 2:44 pm I would say the 1899O is VG as LIBERTY does not show but the obverse is a solid F, overall grade F The 1903 is about VG. Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 3:03 pm Yes, Liberty shows fairly clearly on the 1899, I'd call it net F+ for the scratches. The 1903 also appears a little scratched and dented, but I'd call it VG details. Nice coins. Report this Post to the Staff
tmor Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 6:08 pm I can only go a F on the 1899-O, Liberty should really be stronger for a VF. The scratches and dark color bring that down to a net VG in my book. I can only go G on the 1903. There should be three letters of Liberty showing to get a VG. Report this Post to the Staff
