Raw 1875-S Twenty Cents type coin I was looking at. Looks like a fairly solid VG08 to me.. Any thoughts? (Sorry for the lousy pics, should be enough to grade it) Opinions appreciated, Thanks!  (Sample photograde for ballparking..)  |

Another vote for VG08. BTW, I found it extremely difficult to find a Twenty Cent Piece in this general grade range with acceptable eye appeal. Most were harshly cleaned or polished. Based on what I saw, this is, IMO, in the top 10-20th percentile for VG08 eye appeal, so if you like it and that's your price range, go for it. I lost patience after a year and overpaid, but still love what I got. I would have jumped on this one for the right price. |

Agree that these are tough to find in original condition. I've been looking for over a year to find the right one. Agree with VG8

Thanks all, appreciate the comments.  Was able to pick this up at a decent price, and has the look I like. Will have to keep my eyes open, maybe able to find a nice 75-CC for Christmas. |
