Again, new to rating coins, I'm thinking that this is probably VG-8 to VG-10, I need to get a better camera to take pictures.

Thoughts for the CCF?

shots need to be head on for accurate opinions, FYI

most work off an Iphone cam so smart phone shots are more than enough unless you're going to get into photography and become a fanatic about pics

It is almost impossible to give you an accurate grade based on those pictures but I don't see it going above VG. Some basic guidelines for G-6 (2 letters in LIBERTY are visible, not necessarily readable) VG 8 (3 letters in LIBERTY are visible), VG 10 (one letter in LIBERTY not visible). These guidelines will at least get you in the ballpark for lower grade IHC.

General observations, based on the pictures. There's enough of the denticles left and feather detail to suggest (to me) it's a VG.
Of course, seeing LIBERTY detail would tell me for sure.

I think your right this is a G-6

Here is a better picture. Definitely no letters for Liberty can be seen

I'm sticking to VG8--I see at least three letters of LIBERTY (at least partially)---Snow grading system.

I agree. The whole letter does not need to be visible. If it is only a partial it still counts.
