I am starting a mid-grade raw type set and I thought this one would be a nice addition. How would you grade it?  |

I'm curious if anyone thinks this is a pocket piece.

@BH1964 You think so? The wear makes it seem to me that this was a strong strike to start with and has worn consistent to what F12 would be...? I could maybe accept F15 or VF20 but 25 seems off? Are my grading standards not consistent with the industry. Personally I stick yo Seated quarters so maybe I've got this wrong. |

I wouldnt be surpised to see F 12 to vf 20. I dont think theres quite enough to get the 25 though. The Half Dimes are weird theyre so small they seem to have more detail in lower grades than other Seated coins. Id go VF though with that eye appeal, its a very nice looking coin. Quote:

Looks like a VF-20 with nice eye appeal.

I might have been generous even though New Orleans was pretty bad at striking these up. I thought it looked better than Fine but on second thought F15 or maybe 20 is more like it. |

I'd have to see it to be sure. I don't think it can go as high as VF20 because (beyond the wear on the head and drapery there seems to be a little wear into the L of Liberty). F15.

VG10...maybe F12. IMO wreath detail is a little weak for Fine

Looking at some of these slabbed I wouldn't be surprised if it went VF20
