Don't know if you wanted to show us a 1922 or a 1920. But I will grade the coin shown. Looks like it still has some luster, I will go AU53.

It looks pitted to me...is that the photo or is it actually the coin? If it is pitted, then I am thinking max EF-40.

That is an outstanding example of a 20S! For the issue, that coin is hammered.
MS-64BN

help me understand where youse guys are seeing wear for the AU. Cheek? eyebrow? curl high points? tops of wheat grains? dark areas by rim and letters (obv/rev) indicating that there was rub in the fields where it isn't dark? The fact that "LIBERTY" is worn flat (oh, scratch that, sorry, well, don't actually *scratch* it, but you know what I mean)

I was thinking soft obverse strike, soft O on reverse, but uncirculated. So I say ms 62

Thanks for the insight BadThad, Keep teaching!
From Q. David Bowers "Tired, overused dies seem to have been the rule at San Francisco this year."

It was stuck with amazing force, rather than just a low pressure or average pressure strikes.

That is what I was referencing in the post above... finding a well struck coin from San Francisco that year is unlikely. Most were made from well worn dies apparently.
