Seller's pics of a coin I picked up. I don't have many CuNi IHCs--what would you grade it? Usually I look for the headband/hair separation to distinguish between F-VF. Also, the hair/ribbon intersection is an indicator of grade.

Thanks for your grades!

F-15 Details, there's something going on with the surfaces, I suspect-- Environmental Damage.

Yeah--that's just it--surfaces on CuNi cents are different than bronze cents.
I'll see better when it arrives--the picture is a little out of focus.
For comparison, here's a VF30 graded by Rick Snow--with obviously less overall wear.

I would say VF20 with a weak strike on the feather tips.

I would go with F15, because the bottom edge of the headband is not complete and distinct.

Thanks for your grades. I was sorta curious about this one...it almost looks like it's on the 15/20 boundary.
I'll know better when it arrives--I'll have it in-hand and post new pics.
