Was wondering what you think this would grade at. I have a hard time grading my own, and you guys have been very helpful! The scans don't show as much hair accent as you see in person. Let me know and thanks!

I have looked there, what I grade it, and what everyone else grades it differs sometimes. I figure I'm more apt to grade my own higher. Thanks for the tip though...

I feel like I see separation with cheek and jaw, just flat lighting (no judgement, I can't get lighting quite right yet). That, with the wheat ears put me at F-12. Way to go on what I consider a key and not a semi-key date!

Anyone else thinks it at some point was cleaned. Look at the lines on the front. I am trying to learn how to distinguish cleaned coins from not cleaned. I'm not good at grading very circulated coins either.

VG10 for F12 you need to see all the lines in the Wheat Ears.

VG10 but it wouldn't surprise me if it went F12. Seems key dates get a tiny bump at times (or the grader had a good day).
