From the pictures appears to be a F-15, maybe a VF-20 on a good day for TPG if authenticated.

i think its a VF20 based on auction archive photos I was perusing
the reverse horizontal bands are not completely dull and I believe the rims are quite strong

nice coin Panz
your collection is marvelous and I am glad you're sharing so much

F12 obverse and VF30 reverse? Net grade would be F15+ or VF20

Plus the rarer the coin, one that looks good and is original, is a coin every grading company wants to have the honor of encapsulating. So they might tend to give a llittle more leeway on a nice tough coin like this and kick up to VF20. Great buy on a super key coin panzaldi! Thanks for the sharing.

thanks for all the comments on this one. the reverse is a little out of focus and its shot through the lucite holder it came in. I was in the F15+ group for grading. hoping that on a good day it would pull a VF20.

I agree with everyone: F-15 but might just squeak into a VF-20 slab, particularly since it's a great example of a rare coin!!
