Well, I'm officially back from the wilds of Northern China. Time to start looking for some help to grade some what I think are nice aquisitions.

I said that before even looking at the comments. Yes VF 20.

In my opinion this is a VF30 - all of the jewels in the band of he crown are sharp and clear. The reverse wear keeps it from getting a higher grade.

Here is one of mine from 1881.... with a touch higher grade to compare against.

Sadly,...I don't have the reverse pic right now..

I'd have to give yours a VF-20..if sent to ICCS..

There is more detail in the crown on mine and some luster in the protected spots. I'll try to get the Reverse pic in here soon to better compare against.

Thanks,SHAFTA but the comment earlier about the reverse having a lot of wear is true. I wish both sides were as nice as the obverse. That being said, there is also a rim ding at 12:00 too. She is definitely a nice add to my collection.
