Before you post your message, click on the "Uploading Images" for instructions. Took me two tries and I figured it out. Not too hard at all. Unsure if you can do this to something already posted. But I'm going to try it on one of my posts and let you know.

Looks like you figured it out.

Hi Pattiewhack

The pics will need to be larger for me ,, My eyes are a little burned from two consecutive nights of welding outside in the dark .

If you are scanning, scan it at 600 d.p.i. and then resize it to 96 d.p.i. in your editor. You should be able to get 384x384 pxl images. These should be fine to grade by. If you are having trouble, scan them and then email the raw images to me and I'll get them uploaded for you.

I was able to get the above pics a little larger, but they're still not quite clear enough to give an accurate grade. My initial feeling is F15. It may be a VF20, but I can't see the lettering in LIBERTY clear enough to determine.

I can make out all but the last letter in Liberty from the pic provided...

If the Y is there but not fully legible I would rate it at F-12.....because the lower portion of the headband becomes faded.

If its just the pic...

and you can easily make out the Y, but the bottom of the headband border is indistinguisable then I would agree with F-15

If the headband border is easily noted all way around then VF-20.
