ThomasJefferson Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 08/28/2014 7:32 pm This piece resides in my Newfoundland 50 cent ICCS graded set and was purchased as a certified coin. Comparing this coin to other F-15s in the set, the grade seems low - considering the detail in the bun, for example. Have a look at the photos and tell me what you think. Thanks for reading.

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 08/28/2014 8:04 pm Yeah, I agree, that grade looks quite low for the coin, they may have taken in consideration that the reverse is somewhat worn. I would say looks VF-30 too. Report this Post to the Staff

TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 3:15 pm ICCS is always tough on the obv of NFLD coins. The fields don't look messed up so I don't get it. VF20 Report this Post to the Staff
Vancouver IslandCoinKid Forum Kid Canada 1074 Posts	Posted 09/30/2014 11:28 am VF 20 for me just because it is a little bit better than a F-15 but not good enough for a VF-30 Report this Post to the Staff
47P7 Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 9:21 pm If we would have it, VF25 would be perfect for this coin, unless something is not shown because of the picture through 2x plastic. Call Brian and ask him and perhaps re-submit it. Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 09:43 am Definitely undergraded,..and maybe it was a weak strike ..or weak/poor details in the reverse die.. . . . Edited by DEVLEC 10/03/2014 09:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 12:40 pm I agree with DBM. The wear on the reverse makes it a VF20 imo Report this Post to the Staff
