New to grading - what do you guys think?

My guess: F-15

Bought for $10.

Thanks!

Thanks, vancouverIslandCoinKid!

You're very knowledgeable on grading.

I saw that you are 15. I'm turning 15 soon. Do you know how old the youngest person on this forum is? :D

VG10
There is too much detail to be a VG8

Usually I agree with you JimmyD

Here is what I go by for a VG-8 struck on silver:

The eyebrow has been worn off. The band and jewels of the crown and the bow of shoulder are very worn, the band of the crown mainly worn through in the middle. There is little detail to the robe. On the reverse, the pearls in the arches of the crown are blurred and the central arch is often worn through. The leaves of the wreath show little detail. On convex reverses the N of CENTS may be worn through. Ream beads are present however blurred.

Remember, ICCS grades generally the obverse so the reverse plays little impact. Thanks Owen, I appreciate the compliment. I am sure there is a few. I only know of a few others our age...
