Tough coin in any grade. An example with a lesser reverse but slightly-better obverse CAC'd at VF-30, which is what I'm offering this one. Wish the images were slightly brighter.

Wish the images were slightly brighter. I do too on the obverse. Its still at PCGS right now but the grades in. Its a dark coin but that pictures really not doing the obverse justice. Hasnt been to CAC yet but should be making the trip soon |

I'd send it if it's 30 or lower. |

Yeah, I like the shield a lot better in that one. I worry less about the hair than the shield with these.

I'm gonna say VF30 with a real shot at 35.

VF35
Stronger obverse IMO
F-101b
Thick "O" mm
The measurement of the mm, Rt H (right high) and the die crack coming from the tip of AME(R)ICA into the rim are the diagnostic points. Unless I'm making my eyes see it, I do see the slightest disturbance of a die crack under all the patina coming from that "R"
