ThomasJefferson Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 6:00 pm This piece is no less than VF-30 with a chance at a higher grade. That's a fine coin with a sharp reverse. EDIT: Thanks to the experts for sharpening my grading of 20 cent pieces. =) Edited by ThomasJefferson 04/13/2013 11:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 8:08 pm I looks great---BUT: Top knot wear Top braid wear Eyebrow wear Main central laurel wear Gives it F15++ Report this Post to the Staff
lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 8:15 pm Maybe I was a bit hasty---Laurel leaves wear not that bad. VF20--$150 Report this Post to the Staff
doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 10:06 pm Way better than vf20. If it doesn't grade at least vf30 (and possibly ef) at ICCS, I'll pay for the grading fee. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 10:14 pm VF30 may even be EF in hand. so much detail still left in the braid and laurels in particular ,and everywhere else in general. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 04/13/2013 10:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
