I'm thinking this is in the VF30 range. How would you grade it?

1900-Barber-Half-Dollar

Thanks for looking!

VF-25 would seem right to me.
Feel free to call me Will.

a cautious, conservative grade would be VF-25, but it very well can be higher

If it came back certified as VF-30, I certainly wouldn't be saying "no way" - a presentable example, better than many.

She's right on the edge of 25-30 from here,
I'm leaning VF25 also.

Nice

25 or 30...I have to go 25. Just not quite strong enough for 30

I think it could make a 30 due to the strength of the obverse. The reverse looks lower, but I think the obverse will prevail in the final grade.

I have no problem with saying VF-30.
That pesky 'R' is there, complete but not sharp.
The lower band of 'LIBERTY' is complete but weak.
I am very conservative in my grading.
A very nice coin.
johnny is the only one so far who agrees?
